Bruin fire displaces 4 tenants, destroys 1 apartment
BRUIN — A kitchen fire displaced four tenants at a Main Street apartment building Monday night, fire officials said.
The fire broke out shortly after 8 p.m. in the kitchen of an upstairs apartment in the two-story cement block building.
No one was injured but the fire forced all the occupants to find temporary housing.
The state police fire marshal has been called in to investigate, but the fire is considered accidental.
“It looks like a pan on an electric stove that was left on ignited the kitchen cabinet,” said Capt. Eric Feicht of the Bruin Volunteer Fire Department. “The fire gutted the kitchen and living room.”
One of three apartments was destroyed but firefighters were able to save the other two at the building at 151 Main St.
A damage estimate was not available.
