View Comments

MARLBOROUGH (CBS) – Several streets were shut down in Marlborough Monday morning as a six-alarm fire tore through a condominium complex.

Police closed part of Route 20 after flames started shooting out of the top floor of the four-story Lake Williams condos at about 9:30 a.m.

Acting Fire Chief Jim Fortin says the fire likely started on the top floor in what is believed to be a storage area. He says battling the fire was not easy. “As we were trying to get it cut off, it kept jumping on us,” he says.

There’s no word yet on a cause.
