Busy Saturday Morning in Boston







All was quiet until about 1:30am Saturday morning. Of course I had just settled into bed after a somewhat eventless day when Boston struck Box 514 for 1269 Commonwealth Ave. Ladder 14 reported smoke showing and I got up and got dressed but as I did, I heard Box 3358 being struck for a building fire at Blue Hill Ave and Columbia Rd. All of a sudden a 2nd and 3rd alarms were struck so I headed there. I arrived just as the 4th alarm was being transmitted and it ended up being a 5th. Not much was showing from the outside but there was heavy fire inside the building which was the former Frnaklin Park Theatre and now a Baptist Church. While this was going on, there was a fire on Peterborough Street and Buswell Street. I don't remember a night like that in a long time!
