A woman was burned and a firefighter sustained minor facial cuts during a two-alarm fire at a large apartment complex in Charlestown (MA) that caused $75,000 in damage, reports the Boston Globe.
A Boston Fire Department spokesman said the two-alarm fire started at 12:54 p.m. in the rear of her street-level apartment at 7 Phipps St. Flames shot from the back of the unit.
Firefighters stacked charred debris just outside the front door of the unit where the fire broke out. A long trail of black soot traced the path of the fire as it extended out the front door, leaving the siding above the door blackened.
There were only a couple of displaced residents, living in a unit directly above the one where the fire started.
