Cause of the fire is still under investigation, however, it's not considered suspicious
GREENFIELD – Investigators continue to probe the cause of a fire that broke out Wednesday night in the living room of an apartment, part of a complex at Glenbrook Drive.
No injuries were reported in the blaze, which broke out shortly after 6:30 p.m. inside Apt. 2F at 34 Glenbrook Drive. It temporarily displaced “seven or eight” residents, Fire Chief Michael Winn said.
The fire chief praised firefighters for their fast work in knocking down the blaze before it could spread to other apartments. The complex has a dozen units, he said.
“I am really pleased with the outcome, due to the location and it’s distance from the fire station, Winn said, adding that the building is on the outskirts of the city, a short distance away from the Leyden town line. “They did a great job.”
The cause of the fire is not considered suspicious, Winn said.
Firefighters from Turners Falls, South Deerfield, Deerfield and Bernardston provided mutual aid. Firefighters from Northampton, meanwhile provided coverage at the Greenfield fire station with a ladder truck, Winn said.
