Fire Rips Into Triple-Decker House In Worcester: Reports

WORCESTER, MA — Two buildings were damaged after an early morning blaze broke out in Worcester on Monday, NBC Boston reported.

The fire started after 5 a.m. in a three-story Stoneland Road house, and strong winds and icy conditions made it difficult for firefighters to knock down, according to the outlet.

A responding firetruck slid down and got stuck on an icy street overnight, nearly hitting a building, WCVB reported.

The building where the fire started was evacuated, however, the flames shot up to the roof of the house next door before it could be extinguished, according to NBC.

About 15 people were displaced, but no injuries were reported, according to WCVB.

Some animals were also rescued from the fire, the outlet reported.
