FALL RIVER, Mass. — Firefighters in Fall River experienced a nightmare scenario when two fires took place at the same time.
One of the fires displaced a family of five on Seabury Street Sunday night. “It’s frustrating because the resources that might be left are usually a lot of times distant,” said Deputy Chief John Lynch.
Fire officials said that responding to simultaneously calls is actually not that uncommon, especially since firefighters also respond to medical emergencies, car accidents, and smaller incidents, such as getting stuck in an elevator.
