Fire crews brought the fire under control in about an hour. No one was hurt.

Firefighters were dispatched to an apartment building at 135 Dartmouth St. in the South End.

This blood drive event is a partnership with the American Red Cross.

Showcase the Red Cross at work both in disaster and non-disaster times.

Shifts will be between two and four hours on Mondays and Fridays.

A critical part of the campaign is Sound the Alarm, a series of home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events across the country.

There were no injuries reported, but seven people were displaced by the blaze.

The American Red Cross does a lot of work locally, whether it's responding to fires, carrying out blood drives, or handing out free smoke alarms.

None of the occupants were injured, but two birds died in the flames.

Volunteers will be visiting homes in Fall River to provide fire safety education and install a smoke alarm at no cost.
