Pinch said the building was still standing because of the actions taken by the first firefighters on scene. "It was difficult conditions, and they made a nice aggressive attack that held the fire to where it is," Pinch explained. The home sustained significant smoke and water damage. No other injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation. The fire also delayed some South Kingstown students from getting home on time.
