• Fire in Norton closes business just days after opening (turnto10.com) — Attleboro firefighters helped Norton crews quickly knock down a basement blaze at Mike & Lenny's Pizza on Olympia Street, forcing the just-opened shop to close for several days. No one was hurt, but the windowless basement required extra ventilation while firefighters ensured the building was safe. Locals may notice the new restaurant closed while the investigation continues.
