Three family homes on Washburn Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts were destroyed in a fire that broke out on Thanksgiving day around 10:00 a.m. ET.reported that the fire sent one woman to a local hospital to be treated for serious injuries and displaced 27 residents in the three homes. Fire officials said the blaze was likely caused by a “cooking mishap” involving a deep fryer."You can't underestimate the danger of cooking,” Scott Kruger, the New Bedford Acting Fire Chief said.

Fire officials said that they received at least three additional calls for cooking-related incidents while they were putting out the blaze."I just saw smoke and flames coming out of the building," witness Michael Meagher told NBC 10 Boston."It was pouring out of here. You couldn't see up the street — yeah. The smoke was that bad. It was thick."
