It took 20 firefighters in seven vehicles to put out a blaze at 189 Pine St. 
 

All 18 units in the three-story boarding house experienced "major" fire damage and "severe" smoke damage. Fire officials estimate the total damage at $250,000.

 

Twelve of the 18 units were occupied at the time of the blaze, according to fire platoon chief Chris Stokes. Everyone home at the time of the fire was evacuated — two were taken to hospital, and have since been released.
