On 6/28/2020, Cambridge Fire Alarm struck a box for a reported fire on Cambridge Street. Companies found a fire between the first and second floors and after it was determined it had extended to the second floor, a second alarm was called.
As companies were fighting this fire, another fire broke out about five minutes away on Harvard Street when a dumpster next to a building caught fire. Boston Ladder 15, covering a Cambridge firehouse, was first due and reported the fire was extending to the building. Additional mutual aid companies responded to Harvard Street, and as the Cambridge St fire was placed under control some units were cleared and responded directly to the second fire.
