The eight-alarm fire started around 8:30 a.m. Sunday inside the ReSource Roxbury facility on Girard Street. Boston Fire Commissioner Paul Burke said he was concerned it "could burn for days." There's still no word on how or where it started.
No one was inside at the time of the fire, according to Burke. But 150 firefighters were called in because there was so much hazardous material inside and the building was no longer safe. Three of the firefighters were later taken to the hospital for undisclosed issues.
