There is a massive nine-alarm fire blazing in Cambridge near Berkshire and York Streets.

Nine alarms are the most that can be called. Firefighters from communities well outside the area being called in. Cambridge police are asking that the public avoid the area.

Multiple buildings are on fire, including a church. At least one building has reportedly collapsed.

Fire companies from all corners are on-scene to assist, including from Boston, Newton, Waltham and Wakefield.

Pics at the link. I looked it up because my wife called up and commented on it. I used to live in that area, many years ago. I'm sure there's a number of other links that will update.

Possibly inspired by the arsons in Israel?

Muslims? They wish it to be renamed “Imam Square?”

Wife, daughter and grand-daughter are heading west from the Nutcracker in Boston. My wife called at 4:00 to say they were in a massive traffic jam. We usually take Route 2 through Cambridge coming and going to Boston. Wonder if it’s related?

Probably started when some poor, oppressed, Muzzie refugee hiding in the basement of the church was going to grill a goat's head on his hibachi and poured five gallons of gas around it to make sure it would light easily.

Does seem coincidental.

I have never even heard of a 9 alarm fire.

Evil is angry and lashing out. Their chosen surrogate was turned away by the American people. Evil has determined America must suffer...and suffer she is.

Don’t know the roads in MA, but this is a big fire so I imagine it’s causing some traffic to be rerouted.

Is that a muzziehood ?
