At this point, no residents have been displaced.
The building has two elevators. One of the elevators was out of service before the fire and the second one is now out of service because of the fire, town officials said.
Efforts to repair the elevators are underway, but depending on the success of the repairs, displacements may be necessary, they added. AMR will help with transportation if relocations are required.

It's unclear what may have started the fire.
