A second alarm was ordered for the blaze, the Boston Fire Department said in a post on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
The fire at 14 Dorr St., a residential building that three families lived in, remained on the second and third floors before spreading to the attic. The rear porches were significantly damaged, according to another post from the department.
One firefighter who suffered minor injuries in the blaze was transported to the hospital by Boston EMS. Seven residents were displaced. The American Red Cross Massachusetts Chapter is helping them with housing, the department said in another post.
