The Prince Henry Fall River chapter has recently donated $1,000 to the Firefighters Wives Association Inc

for those individuals who were affected by the apartment fire on Irving St. Seven adults and four children were left homeless after the fast-moving blaze — fueled by winds during this past weekend’s blizzard — tore through the five-unit triple decker at 140 Irving St.
