Boston 3rd Alarm - in progress - 2/20/12 - Dorchester - 1 FF hurt

Boston is known for their three story wood frames called "three deckers". There are streets in Boston lined with rows and rows of these types of building. They usually present a serious exposure problem, espically if there is a slight wind condition.

  And in this case, I hope the firefighter hurt will be okay. As far as I'm concerned; "another tough city to fight fires in".
