Mobilized at around 2:30 a.m. earlier today, firefighter units confronted a roaring three-alarm fire, their efforts showcased in video by NBC10 Boston's early morning coverage. Despite, the aggression of the fire, all residents reportedly evacuated safely from the scene, a crucial detail amidst the chaos that unfolded.
Adjacent buildings did not escape unscathed – a second structure sustained damage from the fire.
