News report from the Providence Journal:
Woonsocket fire leaves three families homeless

WOONSOCKET -- Seventeen people, 13 of them children, were left homeless Friday after a fire severely damaged a Fourth Avenue triple-decker, a city fire official said yesterday.
Deputy Chief Kenneth Finlay said no one was seriously hurt in the blaze at 133 Fourth Ave., but one of his department's firefighters suffered a hernia that required surgery.
The fire, reported at 3:08 p.m., took a little more than five hours to extinguish, Finlay said.
He said it appeared to have started on the first floor, but added that investigators would not be ready to announce the cause until they had interviewed more members of the three families who had lived there.
The house was boarded up yesterday afternoon. Damage was visible at the building's back left corner, where the fire broke through the outer walls.
One concern of firefighters during the blaze was keeping the fire from spreading to adjacent houses. In that area, Fourth Avenue is lined on both sides by close-set triple-deckers.
Finlay said the fire was contained to the one building.
