A neighboring apartment building was evacuated to a waiting MBTA bus, but firefighters said the fire wall prevented flames from spreading to the five-story building. The apartments did receive some smoke damage.

Two firefighters were hurt during the fire, one who suffered a foot injury and a second who injured their shoulder. Both were transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital.

Investigators were on scene throughout the morning attempting to determine the cause and origin of the fire, which caused about $3 million damage.
