One person died Tuesday in a four-alarm fire in Revere.
Firefighters were called at 2:30 a.m. to the multi-family home on Thornton Street. Windy conditions made it tough for crews to extinguish the fire. At points, flames were seen shooting from the roof.
“We arrived and there was heavy fire on the second floor and extended to the third. We had a report of three people trapped, initially. One person had actually jumped out the window and sustained injuries,” Revere Fire Department Deputy Chief Glen Rich told WCVB news.
“A little young girl came out the window. She was stuck up there. She was so upset, and she wanted to jump to the street, but three guys wouldn’t let her. They said, ‘Calm down. We are going to help you,’” WCVB quoted witness Daudncio Ocasio as saying. “But still, when they tried to grab her, she still jumped. She still fell on the ground and (got hurt) a little bit.”
The victim’s name has not been released.
