(Turners Falls, MA) –Sunday’s fire which heavily damaged a Turners Falls apartment house was caused by kids playing with matches. That from fire investigators, who say that two children, ages 3 and 6, were playing with a lighter and a candle in a bedroom in the rear of the home at 55 Park Street. The children notified their parents of the blaze and managed to escape with minor injuries. Firefighters from ten towns were called in to battle the fire, which heavily damaged the home’s upper two floors. No word yet on damage estimates.
