ROXBURY (CBS) – A man died in a fire in Roxbury early Thursday morning.
Flames broke out in a home on Catawba Street around 1:30 a.m. The fire was contained to the second floor of the dwelling.
"I told the fire department they did an excellent job, thank you," neighbor Ray McAlister said, "cause it could have been my house had it continued. They stopped it."
