NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Firefighters battled a massive fire at an apartment complex in North Attleboro.
At around 2:05 p.m., officials received a report of a fire in an air conditioning unit at 30 Juniper Road, a 34-unit three-story apartment complex.
Responding crews immediately began an aggressive interior and exterior attack.
By 3:10 p.m., the fire had escalated to seven alarms, due in part to water supply challenges at the scene. The fire was knocked down by 4:05 p.m.

The building sustained significant damage and is currently being evaluated by a structural engineer, according to North Attleboro Fire Department. Residents and their pets will be displaced until further notice.
