Springfield electrical fire displaces 2

SPRINGFIELD – Two people were displaced after a fire in an attic damaged their home early Sunday morning.

The fire was reported at about 1:50 a.m. at 853 Armory St. The first arriving firefighters found flames in the attic and were able to extinguish them before it spread, Fire Capt. Drew Piemonte said.

There were no injuries reported at the fire, he said.

Investigators from the Springfield Arson and Bomb Squad determined an electrical malfunction in the attic caused the fire, Piemonte said.

The American Red Cross of Western Massachusetts is assisting the two residents, who also have a pet dog, he said.
