SFD Brave Cold Fighting Richardson Street Fire

The Somerville Fire Department prevented further damage of a Richardson Street residence on Wednesday afternoon as they braved the cold and kept a basement fire contained after it spread to the first floor of a two-family home. No one was hurt in the incident that brought three trucks to the Magoun Square neighborhood after occupants of the home were attempting to thaw out frozen pipes - the only details available at this time. Cleanup crews remain on site and reports of rusty water are coming in from neighbors.
