A day before it was reportedly slated to have its fire systems inspected, a nearly completed 83-unit mixed-use building in Boston went up in flames.
Located in the Ashmont section of the city’s Dorchester neighborhood, the $45-million wood-framed building called the Treadmark had fire sprinklers installed but they were not yet activated. The six-alarm blaze that began around 2 p.m. on June 28 didn’t cause any major injuries. One construction worker was treated for chest pains.
