3 Alarm Fire In Roxbury, But No Injuries: Boston Fire
Firefighters were called to Roxbury around 5:20 a.m. and saw flames coming from the 3 story brownstone.
BOSTON, MA — Some Roxbury residents got an unhappy wake up alarm this morning as a fire ripped through a three story Brownstone just before 5:20 a.m.
When firefighters arrived they were met with heavy smoke at 6 Linwood Square and called a second alarm and then a third. Just after 6 a.m. the fire was mostly put out and firefighters were working on getting to the hot spots in the attic, where photos appear to show the most damage.
So far no injuries have been reported.
