A firefighter was hurt late Monday battling a 2-alarm blaze in East Boston, which caused an estimated $100,000 in damage and displaced four residents, including a baby, the Boston Fire Department tweeted.
The fire was discovered around 11:25 p.m. at 296 Princeton St., which the department described as an attached three-family residence. Arriving firefighters saw heavy fire flowing from the basement and up to the roof, and they immediately struck a second alarm, the department said.
After midnight, firefighters reported the situation was under control. "Heavy fire knocked down all occupants were safely evacuated. Major overhauling being done all companies are working,'' the department tweeted. “This is a 3 family attached building.”

Four people, including a baby, were displaced by the fire, which damaged both 294 and 296 Princeton St., the department said. The four residents lived in one of the three attached units.
During the operation, one firefighter suffered minor injuries, the department said. He was released from a local hospital Monday night.
The two-and-a-half-story wood-frame home was built in 1900 and is worth about $450,000, according to Boston assessment records.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
