VIDEO: A three-alarm fire broke out in neighboring triple-deckers in New Bedford Wednesday morning. New Bedford Deputy Fire Chief Scott Kruger says the first calls came in around 8 a.m. for reports of black smoke at the corner of North Front Street and Tallman Street. He says the fire had been burning already for quite some time. Around 10 a.m. flames were still seen shooting out of the roof of 317 North Front St. causing the roof to collapse. The first floor of the that triple-decker once housed “The Pub,” which has been closed for years. The sign is still visible from the street. Preliminary investigation shows the fire started at the house behind “The Pub” on Tallman Street and spread. New Bedford Fire Chief says one firefighter had burns to the hands, and there were no known injuries among residents displaced.
