Cambridge Apartment Fire
Fire Chief Gerald Reardon says it appears as if the blaze started in the basement of the six-floor building but quickly moved floor to floor up a utility shaft, making it difficult to battle.
The older 57-unit building did not have a sprinkler system.
Reardon says 125 firefighters responded, and some suffered minor injuries.
The cause remains under investigation.
