The efforts of a woman who lives on the first floor of the building helped ensure everyone safely escaped a fire in Brockton, Mass.
Firefighters moved quickly to knock down an early morning blaze in Brockton on Monday, though 11 residents have still been displaced as a result of the fire.
The Brockton Fire Department said it responded to a scene on Ames Street shortly after midnight, extinguishing the flames in about 10 to 15 minutes. No injuries were reported to anyone on the scene of the six-unit apartment building, which officials say has both water and smoke damage. Two units were heavily affected, fire officials said. The fire is believed to have started in a unit on the second floor in the living room.
The quick actions of a mother who lives on the first floor of the building, Chele Casimir, were critical in ensuring every resident got out safely.
