"This fire could have been a lot worse when companies were forced to use a hydrant from the adjacent [street]," wrote Boston fire on social media. "The hydrant [two] houses from the fire was blocked by a truck parking in front of it."
Boston police did ticket the truck, said the fire department.
No injuries were reported.
