A major fire broke out Wednesday evening at a large multi-family home located at 204-206 Ferry Street in Malden, Massachusetts. The fire, which escalated to a three-alarm status, sent heavy smoke and bright flames from the roof of the historic 10-bedroom building, prompting a significant response from firefighters across multiple jurisdictions. Firefighters were observed battling the blaze from scaffolds and entering the building to douse flames, while residents and motorists were urged to avoid the area between Eastern Avenue and Cross Street. There was no immediate information regarding injuries or whether anyone was inside the home at the time of the fire. The building, dating back to 1890 and spanning over 5,000 square feet, suffered visible fire damage, especially to the front left side. This is a developing story, with officials still working to determine the cause and potential casualties.
