Boston experienced its largest fire in years, when a 9-alarm fire recently ripped through a residential building in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. The Boston injury attorneys at the Law Office of Neil Burns can help if you are injured in a fire or other catastrophic event. And while the Boston accident attorneys at the Law Office of Neil Burns can help you, rental insurance can also help take care of you and your belongings.
On April 7, 2010, a large fire tore through a 10-story condominium building in Boston and one firefighter was injured." There were flames shooting out of the Mass Ave. side of the building. It was pretty intense. They had some trouble getting the ladder trucks up there because the flames were coming out so strong," witness Maureen Toomey said. "From what I heard, the fire started on the seventh floor and went up," said a resident who lives in the building. "It used to be a hotel, and they converted it into apartment buildings."
The building was heavily damaged. A Boston Fire Department spokesman estimated that the fire caused at least $3.5 million in damage. Thus, for the residents of the building, smoke, water, and other damage could be heavy, with lots of personal belongings lost. In addition, the building was evacuated and residents were not allowed back in. The Law Office of Neil Burns reminds you of the value of renter's insurance. Renter's insurance can provide for replacement housing, and can compensate you for damages incurred inside your individual apartment, like many of those in the Boston Back Bay fire.
