As Off duty Worcester Firefighters laid to rest one of their own, the duty group got called out to 39 Birch Street in the city's Clark University neighborhood for a report of a building fire.
First arriving companies were met with heavy smoke and fire on the top floor of an ordinary New England style 3 decker.
True to fashion, Worcester firefighters knocked the blaze down quickly. A 3rd alarm was called in to help with manpower.
