City fire leaves five homeless

No one was seriously injured in a residential fire in Providence last night, but five people were left without a place to sleep.

A call for a possible kitchen fire came in at about 9:30 last night, according to James Taylor, chief of communications for the Providence Fire Department. When fire and rescue arrived, he said, there was heavy fire on the first floor of the building at 942 Douglas Ave.

The blaze was under control just after 10 p.m., Taylor said. Five people were evacuated from the two-story, wood frame building and taken in by the Red Cross.

Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.
