At least 17 hurt in historic Boston neighborhood blaze

At least 17 people were injured as a nine-alarm blaze raged through a four-story building in the city's historic Back Bay neighborhood on Wednesday, drawing a large-scale emergency response, local officials said. All residents of the apartment building escaped unharmed, said Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald. With the winds, "it's hard fighting it from the outside." Boston Emergency Medical Service said it had taken 17 people to area hospitals. Firefighters were focused on keeping the blaze from spreading to neighboring buildings on a day the city was buffeted by high winds, MacDonald said.
