A fire that broke out around 4 a.m. Friday at a home in Hull injured four people and displaced 16.

Fire and smoke was billowing from the four-unit home when firefighters arrived, according to WHDH.

Hull Fire Chief Chris Russo told NBC10 Boston that authorities believe the fire began on the first floor.

“We had to put multiple vent holes in the roof to get at this thing,” Russo told WHDH. “It’s just in a real tricky spot for us.”

Three people were being treated for minor injuries, while the fourth person’s injuries were thought to be more serious, according to NBC10 Boston.


The American Red Cross was helping 11 people — eight adults and three children — the organization said on Twitter.
