Eight apartments were damaged Friday morning as firefighters chased after a fire in the attic of a three-story apartment building in Weymouth, according to The Patriot Ledger.Deputy Fire Chief Richard Chase said no firefighters or residents were injured, but several residents of the three-story building at 40 Gaslight Drive would be unable to return to their apartments until later in the day because of water damage. He said two apartments could be uninhabitable for even longer.Chase said firefighters were sent to the apartment building around 7:05 a.m. Friday after a resident called 911 and said he could see smoke coming into his apartment through the ceiling. He said firefighters found that the fire was in the walls and pulled an alarm to evacuate the building.Chase said firefighters used a ladder truck to tear holes in the roof while others crawled on their bellies while dragging fire hoses to get to the fire in the attic space. He said the fire was largely extinguished within 15 minutes but fire fighters remained at the building until about 8:40 a.m. to look for any remaining pockets.Corey Morris, a resident who lives on the third floor, said he and his wife smelled smoke when they woke up around 5:45 a.m. but initially didn't think anything of it. He said he called 911 about an hour later when he started noticing light smoke coming in around his ceiling.Chase said the fire never triggered an alarm because it was contained to the walls and the building was built before smoke detectors were required in attic spaces.
