Fitchburg firefighters along with Leominster firefighters battled a two alarm fire on Prospect St in the city early this afternoon. Fire Alarm received one call for a building fire in the upper common section of the city. Three engines along with a tower ladder were dispatched. Crews arrived to find heavy fire venting from several windows on the A side of the building. Crews knocked the heavy fire down with several lines and attempted a aggressive interior attack. The fire had already had a major head start and crews were pulled out of the building. A exterior attack of multiple hand lines and two ladder pipes was set up. Crews had a majority of the heavy fire knocked down in about 30 minutes.
