Around 7, on the morning of April 14, 2016, the Providence Department began to receive calls for a house fire near the corners of Angell and Hope Street. On arrival, heavy fire was showing from the first floor of a 2.5 story wood framed house and spreading to the house on the exposure 4 side. A second alarm was immediately struck and crews went to work. They made quick work of the heavy fire and a third alarm was needed to assist in overhaul. Two firefighters and one resident were taken to nearby hospitals for evaluations.
