Cambridge firefighters battled a 2-alarm fire just before 1am on Monday 1-30-2012. Upon their arrival, they found heavy fire showing from the rear porches of the 3 story apartment building. After initially knocking down the bulk of the fire, hot spots flared up again in the kitchen and also the roof of the rear porches, and it was believed the fire may spread into the cockloft of the building.
According to news reports, 4 firefighters were taken to the hospital after the aerial ladder they were working on struck overhead powerlines at the scene. No word on their conditions at this time, however it is believed that none of the injuries are serious.
8 residents were displaced by the fire and are now receiving assistance from the Red Cross to find temporary housing.
