Fire crews in Dover responded to a reported residential structure fire near Cross Street and the intersections with Spring Street and Elliott. The fire was believed to have started with a mattress and was possibly already out when units were arriving, so they were told to come in at reduced speed. The building was occupied and described as a multi-unit residence. Officials and housing code enforcement were to be notified. A county emergency medical bus was sent from Roxbury but was advised there was no need to hurry. Firefighters ventilated the attic to clear smoke and reported a strong smoke odor but no active flames. No injuries are mentioned in the radio traffic.
