Just before 06:00 on 2/12/2012 Boston Fire Alarm transmitted Box 5336 for a fire in a taxpayer at 164 Chestnut Hill Ave in the Brighton section of the city. A 2nd alarm was struck shortly afterwards as heavy smoke was showing from 4 stores. The fire progress for several hours before being knocked down. I left my house about 10:20 and the fire was still going as it became deep seated. Foam was finally used to help put the fire out. Companies were rotated throughout the day and night. The owner contracted a crane to come in and raze the building.
