Pittsfield Firefighters Respond to Blaze on East Street
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A section of East Street was closed for more than an hour as firefighters knocked down a blaze at a building on the Haddad Subaru lot.
The fire was in a former home turned office between the Ford and Subaru dealerships. It was called in just before 8 p.m.
"There was a fire in the wall in the garage," said Deputy Fire Chief Matthew Noyes, referring to the small two-car garage on the east side of the building. "The investigators are on scene trying to figure out what started it."
He estimated it took about 15 minutes to contain and douse the blaze but checking for extensions in the building "takes quite a bit of time."
The damage could be seen about the one-story garage where it connects to the two-story Dutch colonial.
