Boston, MA Fire 8-8-12

9 posts in this topic

Boston had a fire today in the Roslindale section of the city. The fire was in the 3rd floor of a 6 family. The street was very narrow making access for the ladder companies interesting. One of the occupants of the house walked by me and her daughter was asking what she was going to do for toys now! Multiple companies on scene for 2 hours along with BPD and BEMS.

Was this the fire that was first reported by the pulling of a firebox?

Sorry, I have no idea how this fire was reported.

Same. I came in when the R.I.T. Co.'s started to arrive.
