A firefighter was hospitalized and 13 residents were displaced Monday
after a fire tore through a three-family home in Mattapan and spread
to the house next door, officials said.
Shortly before 5:30 a.m., a fire broke out at 52 Woolson St., a house
that was under construction and empty, fire officials said.
The fire burned through the roof and back porches and spread to the
home next door, displacing six adults and seven children. They all got
out of the house safely, fire officials said, and are being helped by
the Red Cross.
The fire threatened to spread to a third home, but firefighters were
able to contain it.
Crews were investigating the cause of the fire and monitoring the
scene for any hot spots, officials said.
