Somerville Fire Crews Battle Fire On Adrian Street

SOMERVILLE, MA – Somerville fire crews battled a large fire Monday afternoon that spread between two housing units.

Just before 3 p.m. on Monday, the Somerville Fire Department responded to a building fire at 2-4 Adrian Street, where they encountered heavy smoke coming out of the building and a fire in the basement.

According to officials, the fire started in a basement mechanical room at 4 Adrian Street and then spread into the ceiling and the wall into the attached unit at 2 Adrian Street. The fire also spread onto a porch.

"The fire was extremely labor intensive as firefighters had to open numerous void spaces to ensure that the fire was completely extinguished," said Charles Breen, chief engineer at the Somerville Fire Department.

No injuries were reported.

Officials determined the fire was accidental.
