Davis Square Fire Drew 5 Dozen+ Firefighters

CAMBRIDGE, MA — A Davis Square home suffered severe damage during a three-alarm fire Monday afternoon.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known. No injuries were reported.

There was also a two-alarm fire in the basement of an Adrian Street home in Somerville around the same time. That fire was quickly knocked down.
