1 person critically injured in the fire that damaged 3 Lowell companies, says Chief – Boston 25 News

Lowell, mass. – One person was critically injured on Monday morning in a fire that damaged three companies in a busy section Lowell.

Firefighters reacted to an alarm activation in the Central Street Chiropractic in the 191 Central Street around 4:30 a.m. found a strong smoke that flocked from the neighboring Thriftdit Store, according to Lowell Fire Chief Phillip Charron.

“It was a very well influenced basement. It was a difficult fire to deal with it, ”said Charron. “It took us a while to get control of it at the basement level so that we could enter the third floor.”

According to Charron, a woman was saved from the first floor and the CPR was carried out before she was brought to a regional hospital where she stays in a critical condition. Your name was not published.

According to Charron, the buildings are all commercially with offices at the top.

“Many of these units, the only access to the basement, you have to access and access the back and back when you enter from the front,” said Charron. “So what we had to do in the end is to force all the doors in the back, get into these units and to get in the back.”

Thriftdit suffered serious fire damage, while H&R Block and Beat Box Glass had suffered minor smoke and fire damage.
