On March 2, a two-alarm fire ripped through a building at 128-140 Humphery St. at the corner of Redington Street.
The building contained several businesses on the first floor and about a dozen apartments on the second and third floors. Firefighters found heavy smoke showing from the three-story 125 x 50 foot structure, and quickly struck a second- alarm.
Firefighters from Marblehead, Lynn, Peabody, Nahant, Salem and Beverly MA assisted at the scene. Revere and Lynnfield covered Swampscott headquarters.
