Crews responding to Boutwell Street around 1:15 A.M. saw flames coming from the building but were able to quickly extinguish the fire.There was smoke damage to the entire building but it was not an entire loss, according to fire crews. 

All six units are displaced, totaling 11 adults and five children. Officials said two children were taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure but no other injuries were reported. Crews said there were working smoke alarms in the building that alerted the first-floor tenant who was then able to alert everyone else.
