Raw video from briefing
From the AP:
Boston’s fire chief says four people have been rescued from a fire at a 10-story condominium building.
They were being evaluated at a hospital Wednesday afternoon, but there was no immediate word on their conditions.
Chief Ronald Keating says the building was evacuated, but it’s not clear how many of its 174 residents were home when the fire broke out early Wednesday afternoon.
Keating says investigators believe the fire began in a seventh-floor unit. Smoke spread to the eighth floor, but the fire was soon brought under control.
Fire Commissioner Roderick Fraser said one firefighter was taken to a hospital with chest pains.
The building is Boston’s Back Bay section. Keating says the building had no sprinklers because it was built before they were required.
