BOSTON — A dog is dead and 7 people were forced from their homes as a fire broke out in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood on Tuesday night.
Officials say the blaze started around 7:30 p.m. at a multi-family house on Bruce Street.
The flames traveled up from the basement, extending into the attic.
A 3rd alarm response was ordered to help extinguish the flames. Firefighters say nearby power lines made the knock down difficult.
There were no reports of any injuries, but 5 adults and 2 children were displaced. A dog also did not survive.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Damages are estimated by the Boston Fire Department to be about $600,000.
