Morning fire on historic Benefit Street

An early morning fire on Benefit Street sent residents out in the cold.

Occupants of the three-story, wooden house at 377 Benefit St. were already on the sidewalk when firefighters arrived, according to Providence Fire Department Chief of Communications James Taylor.

The problem apparently started in the second-floor bedroom, along a heating duct, he said. No one was injured, and the scene was under control within a half hour.

The incident is under investigation.
