A three alarm fire that broke out at 8- 10 Appleton St. three-family home at approximately 2:00 a.m. on Friday forced several residents to jump from second floor windows to escape from the blaze.
According to reports, four individuals were taken to the hospital for various injuries related to their jumping from the building.
A number of nearby residences were temporarily evacuated while firefighters fought the blaze.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Hats off to the SFD,SPD, and the first responders and citizens involved in this effort. God bless all of you!
What is your point steve?
I would guess the point is that technically they are running an illegal business from that home. They are using city resources but not being regulated/taxed as a business. If the house next door to me burns I can tell firefighters how many people could be inside. Can’t do that for a hotel.
my point is they could have been running an illegal airbnb any may even
possibly started the fire or hired someone to do so and the fire marshal
prob is doing an arson investigation. that is my point. people could
hae burned to death!
I am glad people are safe. Running a business may reduce the insurance or not pay it at all for being a business which could be a big problem for the owner. Insurance companies always like to find ways not to pay.
