Update: Twelve people displaced by a Providence fire

PROVIDENCE -- Twelve people are put out of their homes after a fire in the triple-decker at 15 Joslin St. Four of the occupants were taken to Rhode Island Hospital for possible smoke inhalation, according to Battalion Chief Daniel Crowley.

The building holds four apartments, including an apartment in the basement.

There is smoke damage throughout. The first floor is gutted -- and that is where it's believed the fire originated.

Investigators are trying to figure out the fire's cause.

Crews were sent to the scene at 11:45 a.m.
