2:02 PM: Our crew has arrived – we’re adding a photo – this is a house. They’re calling for two more engines to join the response.
2:07 PM: Our crew reports the flames are visible from the south side of the house. No word yet on injuries.
2:16 PM: We’ve talked to SFD at the scene – they confirm no injuries. The fire isn’t entirely out yet; they are likely to have to cut into the roof to get to some of it in the attic.
2:26 PM: Thanks to Arlene for the photo above – she says 34th is blocked north of Roxbury.
3:05 PM: The response is winding down. The cause is under investigation.
9:49 AM FRIDAY: SFD spokesperson David Cuerpo says, “Investigators ruled the fire as accidental, likely caused by an overloaded electrical outlet that ignited drapes and nearby combustibles.” He also confirms that the residents lost one of their dogs in the fire. Meantime, crowdfunding is under way for the family, per this link shared by a commenter.
