Fatal fire on Chester Street

[ron_newman]

I walked by this an hour ago and wondered why the street was blocked off and full of fire trucks and police. Now i know:

Body found after smoke alarm sounded at 16 Chester Street

This is on the east side of Chester, halfway between Mass. Ave. and Orchard St., right at the Cambridge-Somerville boundary line.

There's nothing to be scared of now, seven hours after the fire .... but let this be a reminder to check that your smoke and CO detectors are in working order.
