PAWTUCKET, RI -- Workers trying to defrost interior pipes in a building that houses a chemical preparation company accidentally started a small fire this afternoon that spread to the building's roof, fire officials said. The fire was reported around 12:30 p.m. at Roberts Chemical Co., 258 Pine St. It was quickly extinguished. Firefighters cut a hole through the roof to ensure the fire was fully out. No one was injured, said acting Battalion Chief Capt. Timothy Noiseux. Today's fire was just down the street from a similar fire yesterday. On Thursday, workers using a blow torch to melt ice on a garage roof ignited a fire that damaged the garage, owned by Liberty International Inc., and the state's Supreme Court Judicial Records Center, at 5 Pine St.
