This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

Somerville fire alarm began receiving calls for a building fire on Raymond Ave on 11/8/24. Companies arrived to find heavy fire showing from the rear porches of a 3 story woodframe with fire extending to an exposed building. Command struck a 2nd and 3rd alarm bringing in mutual aid to the scene and to the fire. Due to the high winds and rapidly deteriorating fire conditions, command ordered a defensive operation. Companies used ladder pipes and big handlines to knock down the heavy volume of fire. Companies remained on scene overhauling and checking for extension.
