A fire that broke out around 10 p.m. at 119 Charles St., went to two alarms, displaced five residents and sent one firefighter to the hospital with chest pains.

The Boston Fire Department estimates damage at $1 million, says investigators are still trying to determine the cause.

Fire was reported on floors 2, 3 and 4, which houses residential units. Uncle Pete's boutique occupies the first floor.
