Early morning fire in Providence

PROVIDENCE – Firefighters have just gotten a blaze in a vacant house under control at 139 Pumgansett Drive.

Called to the scene at 6:30 a.m., crews battled the fire from the outside because the roof had collapsed and it was too dangerous for them to be in the building, according to James Taylor, chief of communications for the Providence Fire Department.

When they arrived on scene, crews worried initially that a house next door was close to the fully involved fire and could catch, but the fire has not spread and crews said they would be able to prevent that, Taylor said.

The fire was under control at 6:56 a.m.
