Except it was three houses. In the neighborhood, on Sargent Street. Some bad photos taken with my phone:
At one point, I counted 11 firefighters on the roof of two houses, trying to put out what was left of the blaze. These photos were taken from the back of a house on James Street — the fire was so hot, the siding on the back of three houses actually melted and buckled.
Apparently one of the houses was being used as a squat by addicts, and the other two were vacant. One had been recently rehabbed and was on the market — hope that guy has insurance.
Never a dull moment here…
