PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Firefighters were battling a large blaze on North Street late Wednesday night. 

 

The fire at 6 White Terrace was called in shortly before midnight as a structure fire and a third alarm was called in. 

 

Smoke could be seen billowing from the upper floors of the four-story building that fronts on North Street not far from Berkshire Medical Center. 

 

This fire appears to be in the middle section of the building. There's heavy smoke and flames can be seen coming out of windows, and the roof.

 

North Street was blocked off from at least Linden Street to White Terrace and a smoky haze covers the area. 

 

The apartment building was the scene of a fire in 2017 on the north end of the three-structure complex. At least two dozen people had to be evacuated at that time and four people were treated at the hospital.

 

Fire Department officials were unable to comment at this time and the building is reportedly unoccupied.

 

Hinsdale Fire Department and its rehab bus are on the scene as are Lenox firefighters. Police are not allowing anyone close to the scene and visibility is low from smoke.
