NORTHAMPTON – Crews are still determining the cause of an early morning fire that caused around $25,000 in damage.
The Northampton Fire Department was called to a home on Oak Street in Florence just before 4 a.m. Wednesday.
No one was injured.
When crews arrived on scene, they found a fire in the home’s basement, according to Chris Norris, deputy fire chief.
