Fall River Market Fire Caused by Construction | Providence News

A fire erupted at Marques Market in Fall River, MA, sparked when construction workers accidentally struck a power line with an aluminum gutter—igniting flames that raced into walls and attics by the time crews arrived. Though no lingering electrical hazards were found, the market was forced to close, displacing five apartment residents. One civilian was hospitalized (non-life-threatening injuries), and two firefighters were checked for heat exhaustion. Authorities are still investigating, but the construction mishap is the leading theory. A sobering reminder of how fast everyday accidents can spiral—and how communities rally in the aftermath.
