the smoke was quite thick and pungent. Tufts sent out several alerts advising its community members to stay away from the scene, and later sent an email saying that the building was occupied by Tufts students. Curtis Street was closed at Professors Row headed down to Powderhouse Blvd, even at 2pm.

Source: my office is a couple of blocks from the scene.

And boston.com will publish a puff piece about how the fire cleared out valuable real estate to build luxury housing. Like they did with the Somerville triple decker fire last year that my friend barely made it out of alive (and her pets didn't).

gross article

The inclusion of interior photos after the fire showing the exact spot her cat died and the room she woke up in as flames engulfed it is particularly ghoulish.
