REVERE, Mass. — Eight people and a dog safely escaped a two-alarm fire that caused significant damage to a multi-family home in Revere Saturday afternoon.
According to Deputy Fire Chief Paul Cheever, the fire broke out just after 4 PM on Harrington Street. When crews arrived, they encountered heavy smoke and flames coming from the back of the building.
A second alarm was called after the flames traveled up and spread into the second and third floors.
“Eight occupants all were able to get out of the building, and a dog,” said Chief Cheever. Shortly afterwards, the fire was extinguished.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
