The Boston Fire Department estimated the damage to be $100,000 from the Sunday afternoon fire.
The owner of the Partridge Street home that caught on fire on Sunday, told Boston Police that he turned the grill off after making pork chops, but the house caught fire and was engulfed quickly. Police found the owner of the house next door of his home, which had its front porch engulfed in flames, according to a Boston Police report. The man told police he had grilled pork chops on the grill on the front porch. He said he turned off the grill, and then saw smoke coming from in front of his house. The owner said he helped his elderly mother exit the house. A Boston Fire Department chief estimated the damage to be around $100,000. Boston Fire Department Engines 53 and 55, and Ladders 25, 16 and 28 responded to the scene.

An initial investigation points to a grill being to close to the house, which caused the fire to travel up the outside of the building on Sunday afternoon.
Boston Fire Department officials believe a grill being too close to a Partridge Street home on Sunday afternoon caused a fire in a single-family home. "We had a fire on the outside of the building," said Steve MacDonald, spokesperson for the BFD. "It was a grill too close to the house. And basically the fire travelled up the side of the siding and into the space above the house. It's the space below the roof, above the ceiling, but not an attic." No one was injured in the single-family home fire. MacDonald said initial estimates of the fire at 89 Partridge St. listed the damage at $125,000. MacDonald said fire personnel were called to the scene at 2:54 p.m. and stayed about an hour. Fire could be seen on the outside of the house.
