One person was killed and several people, including a child, were injured after a massive, six-alarm fire tore through three buildings in East Boston early Tuesday morning, fire officials said.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Fire Commissioner Paul F. Burke confirmed the death in a press conference Tuesday morning. Burke said one person was found dead inside the home where the fire broke out, and “at least” another five people, including the child, were rescued from the flames by firefighters on aerial ladders.
