Investigators still are trying to figure out why fire ripped through a pair of homes in the North End today. Firefighters were called to 18-20 Byrden Street just before noon to find flames shooting out of the duplex. Laura White lives at 18 Bryden and tells CHSJ News, she heard a loud bang upstairs, ran down to investigate, smelled smoke and then got out as quick as she could.


District Chief Peter Saab says the good news is no one was hurt but the damage to both home is extensive. No word on how many people were living in the duplex but District Chief Saab says right now, it looks as if the fire started in the back corner of the home.
