Firefighter on the roof

Mike Gauthier recorded the scene outside his apartment on Hudson Street in Chinatown this afternoon, shortly after this conversation:

Me: do you smell something?
Cat: Meow

Local 718 reports the fire, first reported around 12:45, quickly went to two alarms. Residents were evacuated and Animal Control was called to deal with "a large dog" found inside.

The Boston Fire Department reports the fire did $1 million in damage and injured two firefighters - one got cuts on his face, the other suffered smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire: A short circuit in the ceiling of the front entrance.

Looking towards Kneeland St. in the background, you can also set the Surface Road going to Mass Pike West onramp. That building with the pagoda on top used to have a great painted sign on the other side, facing cars coming off the Pike and heading down Kneeland St: LUCHEON BUFFET. I thought it was some Chinese thing.
