Bridgeport Firefighters responded to a building that’s partially occupied and has been converted into apartments in the 800 block of Main Street. There was a fire in the plumbing system that extended into a fourth-floor apartment. Crews encountered heavy smoke in the unit but managed to extinguish the fire, which was located beneath the bathtub. They had to break through the tile and open up the area to fully address the issue.
