BOSTON (WHDH) – Crews responded to a fire at a three-story housing development in South Boston.
Flames broke out Friday in an apartment on Orton Marotta Way, near West Sixth and D streets. Officials said the fire was sparked by a deep-fryer and started in a kitchen on the first floor.
One firefighter suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to the hospital. Officials said the injury does not appear to be serious. No other injuries were reported.
The building is owned by the Boston Housing Authority. The city is assisting the six people displaced in the fire.
Fire officials estimate $100,000 in damage to the building. Firefighters said they had a tough time with one of the fire hydrants that was frozen from the cold weather.
