By Thomas J. Morgan NORTH SMITHFIELD -- A house fire caused police to shut down Route 146A briefly this afternoon, but the highway was reopened by 5 p.m., according to the police. Capt. Norman A. Malboeuf of the North Smithfield Fire Department said a second alarm had been rung in for the blaze at 343 Eddie Dowling Highway, and said the department had requested help from surrounding communities. Malboeuf said the house was an occupied one, but he did not know whether anyone had been at home at the time of the fire. He said there were no reports of injury. The captain said firefighters ripped open the roof to get at the flames.
