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.

If you want to understand Boston traffic imagine a Gordian know around a Rubrics Cube.

The Boston area has a history of arson. I have no idea what this fire is about.

Cambridge is a sanctuary city - very ‘diverse’

Maybe, but Oakland, Calif. and Cambridge, Mass. are where the lovers of the chosen surrogate reside.

Gatlinburg, Tenn. I could see...

Is that a muzziehood ?

I don't know. Haven't lived there in several dog's ages. I do know that last year I had occasion to visit Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and was surprised by how many workers were wearing hijabs. But, that doesn't answer your question.

The muzzies are BURNING DOWN the BIG and LITTLE SATANS SIMULTANEOUSLY!
Arson and FOREST FIRES are low risk, HIGH VALUE, HIGH IMPACT activities.

Pretty much the same tale as in many big cities. In MN, streets get narrower because of the snow pushed to the side in winter and the rest of the year everything gets clogged up by road repair.

My initial question too. Weird that all the fire seems to be on the upper levels of the buildings on the inside.

The news I read said a public housing complex on fire but not whether that’s where it started.

It’s the city and we’ve had some rain lately. No drought.
