House fire displaces 7 in Providence

PROVIDENCE -- A minor house fire broke out this afternoon at a three-story wood-frame house at 131 Wadsworth St.

The fire started at 4:43 p.m. and was under control 20 minutes later, according to the Providence Fire Department. There were no injuries.

Four adults and three children who live at the house are being dislocated for a few days, according to the American Red Cross, Rhode Island Chapter. They are all staying with family and friends, but the Red Cross is helping with food and providing financial assistance.
