A rooftop fire at a downtown Boston office building on Milk Street prompted an emergency response from the Boston Fire Department. The fire, which produced heavy black smoke, was reported just before 2 p.m. thanks to a firefighter already in the area. Firefighters quickly evacuated the building and extinguished the flames within 15 minutes, employing hoses from the roof after climbing seven stories. One firefighter was transported to the hospital, and the incident's cause is currently under investigation, with crews monitoring for any remaining hot spots.
