Fire breaks out in Brockton home wired by Thomas Edison. What happened?

BROCKTON — A three-alarm Brockton fire damaged in a home on Green Street in Brockton has displaced nine people, Brockton Deputy Fire Chief Kevin Galligan said.

The fire took place at 42 Green St., one of the first privately owned residences ever wired in the country by Thomas Edison, Galligan said.

Fire crews arrived at the fire shortly after 9:11 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, to find smoke and fire on the second floor of the building, Galligan said. The fire extended into the attic and damaged the first and second floors, he said.

The nine people living inside the home were able to self-evacuate and no injuries were reported, he said.

The estimated damage to the home was around $225,000, officials said.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
