Weymouth: Apartment house fire forces residents to evacuate

No injuries were reported after residents of an apartment complex on Washington Street in Weymouth were told to leave the building after high levels of carbon monoxide filled the building. Firefighters were called to 134 Washington Street just after 10 a.m. on Sunday. A contractor was working in the basement of the building cutting pieces of concrete with a power saw when dust and smoke filled the air setting off the building’s smoke detectors. Firefighters opened the windows and used fans to clear the air before residents were allowed back inside.
