A rapidly spreading fire at a multi-family apartment building located at 30 Juniper Road has reached a 5th Alarm status, prompting a significant defensive response from firefighters across various communities in Bristol County. The blaze was initially reported in a 2.5-story garden-style apartment structure. Within a brief period, intense flames were observed on the upper floors, breaking through the roof, which led to the quick escalation of the alarm level.

Fire Progression Details:

• The 3rd Alarm was activated early on as severe fire conditions emerged on the upper levels.


• A 4th Alarm was declared shortly thereafter due to flames pushing through the roof and posing risks to nearby buildings.


• The situation has now escalated to a 5th Alarm, necessitating additional mutual aid resources as conditions worsen.

Firefighters have transitioned to defensive tactics, concentrating on containing the fire and preventing it from spreading to adjacent properties. Multiple hose lines are currently in operation, and ladder companies are working from the outside.

Current Situation:

• As of now, there have been no reported injuries.


• Residents from the affected building and nearby units have been safely evacuated.


• The fire is generating heavy smoke and flames that can be seen from a considerable distance.

The North Attleboro Fire Department is overseeing the incident, with significant assistance from neighboring towns such as Attleboro, Mansfield, Norton, and Plainville. The cause of the fire remains unknown and will be investigated once the situation is stabilized. The damage to the building appears to be extensive, especially on the upper floors and roof. This incident is still ongoing, and further updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
