β’ Why weren't there smoke alarms in Middleboro condo with fatal fire? (enterprisenews.com) β A Lakeville deputy fire chief was injured while helping battle a deadly condo fire in nearby Middleboro that killed one resident and displaced several others. Investigators say no smoke alarms were found in the unit where the fire started, and the 1980s building lacked sprinklers, raising fresh concerns about fire safety responsibilities for condo owners and managers.
