A six-alarm fire broke out Monday morning at a 100-year-old commercial building in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, forcing firefighters to evacuate the structure and battle the flames from the outside.

The fire started just before 8 a.m. at 72 Warren St., with thick smoke billowing from the building as fire crews arrived. Boston Fire officials posted on X, “Fire companies have the entire block surrounded with engines pumping to all the trucks with ladder pipes.”

Crews were ordered out of the building due to the intensity of the fire, and water was pulled from hydrants as far as Moreland Street, two blocks away, to fight the flames. Several businesses, including Ugi’s Sub Shop, were affected by the fire.

“We should be grateful this happened so early in the morning,” said Sharon Galloway, public information officer for the Boston Fire Department. “This would be a nightmare if it was after school or any later when people would be in the building.”
