2-Alarm Fire In Cambridge Near Harvard Square: Cambridge Fire

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Just after 10 a.m. Cambridge Fire was called to a report of a fire at the corner of Story and Brattle Street where Toscano is situated, moments later they rang the second alarm, according to fire officials.

Cambridge firefighters say no one reported injured in the fire.

By 10:45 a.m. firefighters had put out the main fire in a restaurant along in the first floor of a three story brick and wood building. But the fire had spread to the upper floors and all companies were working to put that out and check surrounding buildings to make sure they were ok, according to fire department officials. Less than 15 minutes later they were wrapping up.

Toscano wasn't open at the time of the fire.

A couple roads, including University Road at Mount Auburn Street and Story Street and Brattle Street, are blocked off and will be for a while.
