Fire officials are continuing their investigation into a two-alarm fire that took the life of an apparently homeless person Friday night. Springfield Fire Department spokesman, Capt. Brian Tetreault confirmed that firefighters found the remains of a male individual in the first-floor rubble of 125 Yale St. after fire destroyed the unoccupied house. Firefighters were called to the scene just after 9 p.m. and found the boarded-up house heavily involved in flames. Fire personnel had to rip sheets of plywood covering windows and doorways to fight the fire within the two-story, wood-framed building. Fire scene commanders learned from neighbors that a possible squatter had been seen around the house and firefighters began an initial interior search.
