12 Residents Displaced By 2-Alarm Brockton House Fire

BROCKTON (CBS) -- A two-alarm fire at a Brockton multi-family home Thursday has displaced a dozen residents.

The fire broke out around 6:30 p.m. at the Crescent Street house. Firefighters were able to knock down the blaze quickly.

The deputy fire chief says the fire appears to have started near a porch, adding that it doesn't appear to be suspicious.

A man suffered cuts to his hand, but no other injuries were reported.
