Fire in District 1 north of Logan Airport near Revere. Difficult location for responding companies on multiple alarms to reach - had to use tunnel or bridge. BFD had water supply problems at old race track. Race track closed for racing in 2014 but continued use for simulcast and betting.

When they brought back the Spenser for Hire series they filmed parts of it there, it was ready for the demolition crew then. I went to Revere and lost my money on the greyhounds!
There was a ground-breaking ceremony last week for new housing development.

Looks like we are still waiting for some lucky fool to collect the first tenth alarm betting pool.

Well I will put my money on District 11, Allston-Brighton. They had the first 9-alarm job which made Moe very happy. So look for 10-5XXX, first digit for their boxes is 5.
