The fire Broke out around 1:30 this afternoon on the 3rd floor.
The firemen cut a hole in the roof to vent the heat and smoke. They had it under control in less than an hour.
looks like everyone got out safe if not a little worse for wear.
This is the second fire on this block in less than a week.
On last Sunday, fire burned a garage behind 640 South East St during the big snow storm, and this is also the same block where a building burned spectacularly last April.
The fire was completely out by 3:00, and the Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents.

How interesting that they are all in a row. Like in a bad movie where an evil developer wants the land but the owners wont sell so he tries to burn them all down.
Great Coverage! But seriously how old is that fire truck!!!!????
I don't think anyone wants land in South Holyoke. I'm putting money on these being started by some kid.
Thanks Jeff, maybe it made more sense to put a new ladder on a old truck?
