A fire reported at 4:29 a.m. at 327-333 Summer St. went to 8 alarms. Firefighters found heavy fire on several floors of the five-story brick building; they were ordered to evacuate around 5:05 a.m., the Boston Fire Department reports.
The five-story former warehouse, the upper floors of which were being converted from artists' studios into residential units, brought firefighters and trucks from across the city to combat the flames that at times were blowing out windows.
UPDATE, 6:40 a.m. BFD reports no injuries. Firefighters have set up a "collapse zone;" motorists should expect lots of problems in the South Station area this morning.
