manages a building right next door to where Tuesday evenings
fire broke out.

Everything is fine. Just the water damage, that's it.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
The fire didn't touch that building, but the basement is
flooded from the runoff from the water used to fight
the fire. Five other multi family buildings, including a restaurant,
weren't as lucky. The fire department says at least two
buildings appear to be a total loss. The fire broke
out at three twenty four Lowell Street and quickly spread.
