On This Month's Cover:
Three fires struck the South Boston section of Boston within three hours during the
late-night and early-morning hours of Oct. 29-30, 2000. The incidents included a working fire,
a five-alarm blaze and a nine-alarm-plus fire. All occurred within the same first-alarm district
of South Boston companies. Investigations determined the fires started from legitimate causes.
Nearly all of the buildings involved were three-story wood-frame triple-deckers. Firefighters
were hampered during the night by 40 mph winds. It took 200 firefighters to battle the blazes,
which left 120 people homeless, including the family of a Boston firefighter.
