Gas Hoarding Leads To Dartmouth Fire DARTMOUTH (WBZ) ? Authorities say a Dartmouth couple trying to beat the high cost of gasoline accidentally caused an apartment complex fire. Fire Chief Richard Arruda says the couple had about 45 gallons of gasoline in nine plastic jugs stacked in a closet that also housed an air conditioning unit. The gasoline fumes apparently set off Wednesday's fire, which was quickly put out by a sprinkler system. No one was seriously hurt, but residents of eight units of the complex were displaced. A spokeswoman for the state fire marshal says investigators believe the couple were storing the gas because of rising prices. Officials say the couple, whom they did not identify, might face civil penalties for violating the fire code. wbztv.com
