PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity has reopened the application process for a 3-bedroom, 2-

bath Habitat home at 112 B Robbins Avenue in Pittsfield, after the previously selected homebuyers became ineligible to move forward in the program.

"We are excited to offer another family the opportunity to achieve affordable homeownership," said Carolyn Valli, CBHFH CEO. "We encourage anyone who started an application but didn’t finish — or anyone newly interested — to apply now."

Habitat’s Homebuyer Services Team has no completed, qualified applications for this home despite over one hundred who have expressed interest.

"But unless families complete their applications, they cannot be considered for this opportunity," added Valli. "We have staff ready

to help families with the application process. Just call us."

Families who previously began the process are encouraged to complete their paperwork, and new applicants are welcome to start by calling the Homebuyer Services Team at 413.741.0221 to make an appointment. Inquiries can also be made to Homes@berkshirehabitat.org.

Fire Chief Chris Cachat said the occupant was working on some motorcycles and "gasoline spilled, and there was a space heater that ignited."

It was going to be ruled as accidental, he said.

All the occupants were accounted for and one cat was rescued. He said there should be no problem with the occupants getting back into the house once the electrical inspector clears the

"The crews did a great job," the chief said, adding the late afternoon provided for more hands. "Perfect time of day to have something like this happen. We were able to get in here, get it knocked down."

The Fire Department was supported by police, Hinsdale, Windsor and Pittsfield fire departments, County Ambulance, the Water Department and Eversource.

Main Street was closed from Weston to Depot street for about an hour and half.
