Fall River Fire Department fights flames at Reis Meat Market
The Fall River Fire Department put out a blaze Sunday at a city market.
A call came in for flames inside Reis Meat Market at 375 Alden Street just after 10:15 p.m.
According to Fire Chief Roger St. Martin, the owner of the market was notified by an alarm company that there was a fire inside of the building.
FRFD arrived within minutes with District Chief Sean Flannery taking command of the fire scene. With several apparatus already assisting, Flannery called for an additional engine due to the size of the fire and its proximity to other buildings.
The fire was knocked down by 10:40 p.m. as firefighters chased hot spots and a fire in the ceiling.
The main body of the fire was in the middle of the building which caused extensive damage to the interior.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Fall River received mutual aid from neighboring towns to cover calls as a fire in the floor/ceiling on Jefferson Street occurred as the fire scene on Alden was wrapping up.
