18 First Responders Hurt, 2 Firefighters Killed in 9-Alarm Boston Fire 



Lt. Edward J. Walsh of West Roxbury, a father of two boys and a girl, all younger than 10, and firefighter Michael Kennedy, a U.S. Marine veteran, were killed in the fire. They would have been among the first firefighters to respond to the blaze, officials said.

Both men were apparently trapped in the basement as the fire raged, at one point making an explosion-like backdraft, officials said. The fire "was blowing like a blowtorch from the front," Boston Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Finn told reporters.

Emergency radio traffic painted fragments of a dramatic scene at the building, with one emergency official telling responders, "All companies out of the building, now!

Officials said 13 of the 18 people hospitalized from the fire were firefighters, and Nick Martin, spokesman for the Boston Public Health Commission, told the Los Angeles Times that the other five were first responders.

Fire officials said they weren't aware whether any of the injuries were serious.
