Small basement fire.

Nobody hurt, i hope? It's upsetting to read that Somerville had its second fatal house fire in seven days today. (First one was on Chester Street last Tuesday; the second one was on Fairfax Ave. today)

Ah, thank you - I couldn't get a bead on exactly where today's fatal house fire happened.

No one was hurt in the basement fire. The person who died on Chester St died of natural causes, I believe.

Really? I'd've thought it was this fire (http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/01/17/two-killed-in-fire-at-somerville-home/), but the only location I have for it is "near Alewife Brook Parkway".
