WESTBROOK — Firefighters are investigating the cause and origin of a Thursday night fire at an apartment house at 35 Lamb St. that displaced six residents. There were no injuries.
Firefighters arriving at the scene after a 911 call about 10 p.m. saw heavy smoke and fire coming out of the basement windows, the Westbrook Fire Department posted on Facebook.
