BOSTON (AP) - Firefighters have battled a blaze in East Boston that heavily damaged a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house and spread to a car and two nearby houses.
New England Cable News reports Fire Commissioner John Hasson said at the scene Wednesday night that the fire started in the basement of a two-family house on Lexington Street. The heavy fire was contained to that house.
Hasson said everyone was accounted for. The only injury reported was to a firefighter who had a minor eye injury.
The fire department had called for eight alarms to bring in extra equipment after the fire was reported just before 7:30 p.m. in the tightly built neighborhood near Logan Airport. It was brought under control before 9 p.m.
