Engine 2, Engine 4 and Ladder 2 of the Brockton Fire Department, along with a deputy chief, responded to the Campello High Rise, a Brockton Housing Authority property at 1380 Main St., about 8:57 p.m. The department had received a box alarm for the building.
There was no smoke coming from the building when firefighters arrived, but they quickly learned sprinklers had activated on the second floor. They determined there was a fire in the trash chute.
“Last evening, a fire in a trash chute was extinguished by a sprinkler at a 10-story high rise building,” the Brockton Fire Department wrote in a tweet on Saturday morning.
