Newport — Firefighters from eight towns on Tuesday morning responded to a blaze that they say rendered a residence on Bradford Road unlivable, displacing six people.

Crews made entry into the home just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, and deemed the fire under control about 90 minutes later.

Two adults and four children were displaced, according to a news release from the Newport Fire Department later that afternoon that said investigators were still determining the cause of the fire.

On Tuesday afternoon, officials with the American Red Cross said the relief organization was working with the displaced family.

“Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteers will meet with the residents to ensure everyone has a safe place to sleep and has food, clothing and other essentials,” said a news release from spokeswoman Janet Vaughn. “Over the next several days, Red Cross client casework volunteers will stay in contact with the family and provide referrals as they begin their road to recovery.”
