ATHOL, Mass. (AP) - Massachusetts fire officials are investigating an apartment fire that sent at least eight people to the hospital.
The Greenfield Recorder reports (https://bit.ly/2olVixz ) that the severity of their injuries is unclear.
Five different fire departments were called to battle the flames Tuesday afternoon at a two-story apartment building in Athol (ATH’-uhl). It took them more than 2 ½ hours to control the fire.
The state fire marshal’s office and a hazardous materials team have been asked to assist in the investigation. The Salvation Army is arranging shelter for the people who lost their homes.
