ROXBURY – A firefighter was injured and 15 people were displaced following a Sunday night fire that spread between two Roxbury homes.

Heavy flames ripped through a home on Quincy Street.

Because the building was just feet away from a neighboring structure, the flames spread to a second home.

Firefighters said they were able to quickly knock down the fire despite challenges such as icy sidewalks and power lines in the area.

A total of 13 adults and two children were displaced between the two homes. The Red Cross responded to help them find alternate housing. 

One firefighter suffered a shoulder injury but is expected to be OK.
