Shortly after 2:30pm Monday firefighters responded to a vacant apartment on the 3rd floor at 375 Brooks Street. Assistant Fire Chief Manuel Firpi told us firefighters opened up the wall to extinguish the fire. They laid town tarps to minimize water damage to the apartments below. There were no injuries and the occupants will be able to return to their homes once the fire inspector approves it.
