DARTMOUTH – Fire crews rushed to an abandoned building in Dartmouth late Thursday night to put out a small blaze.
Division commander Lloyd Currie says that crews received a report of smoke coming from the former Little Nashville Country Western Bar on Wyse Road around 10 p.m.

Currie says fire crews found the fire, which measured about four feet by four feet, in the back corner of the building between the first and second floors.
“Crews got the fire knocked down pretty quickly and it was just a matter of overhaul and cleaning,” he said.
Currie says firefighters pulled up parts of the floor to make sure fire hadn’t spread through the floor joists.
Four fire trucks responded to the scene and Wyse Road was shut down to traffic from Nantucket Avenue to Boland Road. It re-opened about two hours later.
He says they do not yet know how the fire started or whether it is suspicious. There was no one inside the building. Investigators will be on the scene Friday morning.
