BOSTON, MA — Boston firefighters received a late-night, two-alarm call Tuesday, battling into the early morning hours.

The fire escalated to two alarms before being knocked down.

Nobody was injured, the fire department reports, but 10 occupants were displaced and the damage estimate was ballparked at $250,000. On Wednesday morning, Boston Fire attributed the cause to "careless disposal smoking material" on the first-floor back porch.
