The Smithfield Fire Department responded to an electrical fire at Georgiaville Manor on Higgins Street during the morning of Monday, July 17. Fire Chief Robert Seltzer said his department responded to the scene around 10:30 a.m. Monday and discovered a small fire in the utility room on the first floor of the 54 unit affordable housing option for seniors in Smithfield. The fire resulted when the electrical panel in that room short circuited, meaning it malfunctioned. When that happened the building also lost power. However, no injuries were reported in the incident. Seltzer added that the department does not know what caused the electrical panel to short circuit.
