NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — An investigation is underway after a fire destroyed a bakery on the South Coast of Massachusetts late Wednesday night.
Firefighters responding to reports of smoke showing at the Sunrise Bakery on Bolton Street in New Bedford just after 10 p.m. found heavy flames shooting from the building, according to New Bedford Fire Chief Brian Medeiros.
The flames spread into the attic, forcing crews to evacuate the bakery before the roof collapsed.
