Four adults and their children are now displaced, according to the Red Cross of Massachusetts. Emergency services are helping them find a place to stay.
The fire elevated to two-alarms because of the split crew and cold weather as the region braces for a nor'easter. The flames didn’t extend to right side of duplex as officials held the fire to left side. No firefighters were injured.
