Water problems existed from the start as a result of a poor hydrant.

“Water issues plagued us right away. Masucci remarked, “We had a terrible fire hydrant. “You need as many personnel on the scene; as you can at the moment of the fire.”

Although the fire did not spread, some heat damage could be visible; on the siding of surrounding buildings.

Masucci added, “As you can see, it’s only about two feet from that person’s house. The boys did a great job of keeping it out; of that person’s house.” Guys did a fantastic job.

Neighbor Huy Nguyen said, “It did spread a little bit; earlier it did, but not too terrible from my side.”

Living next door is the residence of Nguyen’s mother. Her evacuation by the crew was a precaution.

It might have been worse. That being the case; I’m delighted they came, Nguyen remarked.

A K9 from the State Fire Marshal’s office was on the site; looking into the reason.

The property manager of the building was also present.

Boston Property Management’s Gene Grady expressed his concern; saying, “It’s unfortunate, but nobody was wounded; that’s our concern.”
