The State Fire Marshall’s Office says a person suffered fatal injuries, and two people were injured after a fire at a home in Plymouth.
The fire department responded to the area of 41 Post N Rail Ave following a Life Alert notification around 5:24 Friday morning. On arrival, firefighters saw smoke and flames coming from a single-story, multi-family home. Three adults escaped the home, one was transported to the hospital.
Firefighters were informed that two people were unaccounted for, and crews made immediate entry.
One person was rescued, and was transported from the scene in critical condition. A second adult suffered fatal injuries — they are not being identified at this time.
Two Plymouth firefighters had minor injuries at the scene.
Fire officials say working smoke alarms appear to have prevented a greater loss of life — and urged people to have them installed on each floor of a home, and tested monthly.
The cause of the fire does not appear to be suspicious, but it remains under investigation.
The Red Cross is assisting residents who were displaced by the fire.
