I live across the street. I have to comment on the wonderful firefighters. When the trucks arrived, they hustled. I was amazed at how fast they pulled the hoses out, how fast those ladders went to the top of the roof, where smoke was coming out of the chimney. There was no time wasted. Thank you to the many, many firefighters (8 trucks) that were there, who were able to keep the fire under control. Much praise to them.
thank you for all that you do for Southie.
