Fall River, Ma. On June 19th at around 1730 firefighters were dispatched to a report of a piece of construction equipment on fire. Engine 12 on approach reported heavy smoke showing. On arrival they reported the equipment on fire with rapid extension to the office building exposure. Two attack lines were used to quell the flames. No interior extension was noted after careful overhaul.
