CHICOPEE – An electrical fire left one person displaced Saturday.
The fire broke out at about 1:30 p.m. on Carter Drive. The resident was not home but Chicopee Fire Department emergency medical technicians spotted smoke coming from the house while returning from an ambulance call, said Fire Capt. Katie Collins Kalbaugh.
“We had a pretty quick response because of their diligence,” she said, adding it took firefighters about 20 minutes to extinguish the flames.
The resident was not home when the fire started and no one was injured in the blaze, she said.
The cause of the fire was investigated by the city’s firefighters who determined it was caused by an electrical malfunction, she said.
