A four-alarm fire heavily damaged a four-story wood residential/mercantile building at 30 North Washington Street in downtown North Attleborough, MA, in the early morning hours of Friday, 3 January. The fire occurred during the height of a severe winter storm affecting this region and the entire northeast United States.
The initial alarm was transmitted shortly after midnight hours as fire companies were returning from another working fire (at 264 High Street). One firefighter suffered a minor injury.
The North Attleborough department was assisted by companies from a number of area departments, including Attleboro, Foxborough, Mansfield, Norton, Plainville, and Wrentham, MA; and North Cumberland, RI.
