QUINCY, Mass. — Three people were hospitalized Sunday morning after a women’s boarding house on Bigelow Street in Quincy erupted in flames.
Fire Crews responded to reports of a trash fire just before 3 a.m. but they said the fire appears to have started on the decks in the back of the rooming house before spreading inside.
Quincy Fire Chief Joe Jackson told Boston 25 News that firefighters used a ladder to rescue a few people from the building’s upper floors and one person jumped out of the first-floor window and injured their back.
Three people were transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
The 14 women displaced by the fire are receiving aid from the Red Cross.
Chief Jackson said the house is expected to be a total loss.
