Brookline Fire Fighters Respond To Fire On Beacon St Near Waxy's

BROOKLINE, MA — If you saw a number of fire trucks and a ladder near Waxy's on Beacon Street and wondered what was going on Friday evening, fire fighters responded to a basement fire at 1038 Beacon Street, according to fire officials. By 5: 45 p.m. the scene was clear but the frigid temperatures and winds did not make fighting the fire very easy.

Fire officials said no one was injured or displaced during the fire. The building has 25 condo units.

One witness told Patch the fire appeared to be focused in the store under construction next to Sushi Express and although the building was evacuated by evening residents were back in and Sushi Express seemed to be OK.
