JFK Library Fire - April 15, 2013 - Marathon Monday

During the Boston Marathon attacks an explosion at the JFK Library occurred.  Companies where initially dispatched to a central station alarm however Fire Alarm "struck the box" while Engine 21 and Ladder 18 were enroute.  Responding apparatus included: 3 engines, 2 ladders, 1 tower ladder, District 6, Rescue 2, one RIT engine, one RIT ladder, one RIT chief and the Rehab Unit.  

Since the JFK Library is a landmark and very well-known, initial reports were that this might also be related to the Marathon bombings.  However, the incident was eventually deemed to be accidental.

The three short videos below show the conditions that the arriving companies encountered.
