Cambridge firefighters have released fresh images from the working fire that tore through 82 Inman Street in Inman Square last Saturday, turning the narrow residential block into a wall of smoke and emergency lights. The department called the response quick and efficient, with multiple companies crowding into the tight street to get water and ladders on the building.

Close-Up Shots From a Local Fire Photographer
The photos the department shared were credited to Boston492 Fire Photos, whose gallery features a larger series of images showing firefighters on ladders and hose lines. The shots offer a closer look at how crews worked the building exterior, tried to contain the fire and aimed to shield neighboring properties from damage.
What the Response Says About Cambridge’s Fire Coverage
Cambridge runs multiple engine, ladder, squad and rescue companies across rotating duty groups, and the department’s official pages outline which units and stations cover neighborhoods like Inman Square.
