Overview
- A fire at 596 Metropolitan Ave grew to a three-alarm response early Sunday morning after crews found the front of the multi‑story home fully engulfed.
- All three residents and their dog escaped the house without reported injuries, and Boston EMS said there were no medical transports from the scene.
- Utility crews found live power lines arching over the front of the home, and Eversource shut power to more than 30 customers so firefighters could work safely; some customers remained without service as crews continued.
- The blaze destroyed the residence and left three people displaced, with emergency aid reported on the scene to help the family.
- Fire officials have opened an investigation into the cause, and the three-alarm designation indicates additional units were deployed because the structure fire was large or complex and required extra resources.
