The building was unoccupied at the time of the fire. Due to the compromised structural integrity of the roof, firefighters were withdrawn from the building, as well as the roof, and operated in a defensive, exterior attack mode.
Fire companies cleared from the scene shrotly after 6 a.m. on June 8th.
There were numerous other, unrelated incidents in progress at the time of the fire. Incidents included an elevator entrapment, emergency medical calls, a transformer problem, fire alarm activations, a small fire in a hi-rise (which was quickly extinguished), a malicious false alarm, and more. Thank you to our Cambridge Emergency Communications Center staff who moved apparatus seamlessly in real time to cover all these emergency incidents in the city as well as fireground radio traffic.
Thank you to our mutual aid partners, Arlington, Belmont, Boston, Brookline, Somerville, & Waltham Fire Departments who assisted at the fire as well as covered in Cambridge.
Thank you to Cambridge Police and ProEMS for their assistance.
Special thanks to the volunteers of Boston Sparks for their response and support with the A-10 rehab unit.
