A fire in a multi-family house on Grove Street behind East Providence City Hall is heavily damaged by fire

Fire crews from Providence assisted East Providence firefighters at a late-morning house fire near several municipal buildings.

The fire broke out at a three-story structure on Grove Avenue, next to the U.S. Post Office, directly behind City Hall, according to East Providence Police.

The east side of the house was damaged, with melted vinyl and charred siding apparent after the fire had been knocked down.

Fire officials say they have not yet determined the cause of the fire, which is under investigation.
