MASSACHUSETTS BRIEFS

2 dead after fire in 2 build- ings in New Bedford NEW BEDFORD (AP) — Two people are dead after a fire ripped through two buildings in New Bed- ford early Monday, offi- cials said. Acting Fire Chief Scott Kruger said two deaths were confirmed, but no further details are being provided until next of kin can be notified. About 40 people were displaced in the fire in two mixed use residential and commercial buildings on Acushnet Avenue, Kruger said. The cause of the fire re- mains under investiga- tion. Kruger said it appears the fire started in an area common to both buildings. PHOTO | ASSOCIATED PRESS “Both of them caught on fire at about the same Gov.
