Shortly after 6 a.m. this morning the Somerville Fire Alarm Office struck Box 349 for a reported house fire at 130 Central Street. Engine 2 cleared from a call two blocks away and ordered a 2nd Alarm on arrival upon finding heavy fire conditions on the top floor rear porch. The fire ultimately went to 3 Alarms requiring mutual aid assistance from surrounding departments. Fortunately nearby houses suffered only exterior damage from the radiant heat.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Group 2 was working.
