Car Fire: Highland Ave @ Conwell St.
Fire: or rather cars on fire and exploding under the lofted concrete apartment building (270 Highland Ave). About 6 firetrucks, and all manners of Somerville/Medford Responding.
Woke up at a little before 2am to smashing of windows and general mayhem, and looked out the window and saw flames reflected in the house across the street. Heard more explosions, and called 911, ran outside, and saw the cars on fire in the parking lot under the building overhang. Still more explosions as the firefighters worked to put out the fires. It looked as if some part of the building lobby may have caught fire, or it could have just been flaming debris obscured by smoke.
There were reports of someone fleeing the scene, running down Highland towards Porter St., but other observers, noted he was just watching the fire, and bolted when the car started exploding.
The fire has been put out and people are loitering around in their pajamas... Nobody seemed to be hurt - The Cataldo Ambulance crew and gurney were unused at present observation. News cameras are present -- so we'll probably see this with more details on the TV tomorrow.

no subject
There were 2 news cameras that also up. I am glad everyone in the building was ok; yes from the fire but from the smoke that was pouring up from underneath. In the end there were a few cop cars, 7 or 8 fire trucks, ambulance and a good few people.
One good thing, though all this is very bad, the cars on fire horns kept going off- almost weird way of waring people
Car Fire
Very sad new car (3 months old)
no contact info of the other lady whose car started burning first!
Hell!
