NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WWLP) – Fire officials say a ‘cooking mishap’ likely started a Thanksgiving Day fire in Massachusetts.

One woman was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries.
More than two dozen people living in the homes were able to make it out safely, authorities said. The exact extent of the damage caused by the fire remains unclear.
