Three firefighters suffered injuries while fighting the fire.
A Wednesday night fire at a bakery in Union Square caused at least $35,000 in damage, probably more, according to Chief Kevin Kelleher of the Somerville Fire Department. Three firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze, Kelleher said. Though two of those injuries were minor, one firefighter was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital with an abdominal injury. That firefighter has subsequently been released and "he's doing fine," the fire chief said. Kelleher said the cause of the fire "appears to be accidental," and was likely the result of faulty electrical wiring.

The two were recently promoted to the positions and sworn in by the Board of Aldermen on Feb. 24. Monday was Hallinan’s first official day on the job. The duo graduated from Somerville High two years apart, joined the department the same year, and even both “married Somerville girls.” They’ve been working together for 25 years, and there’s a noticeable bond that binds them—their passion for the work that they do. “It’s a great job it really is,” said Hallinan “It’s like a family.

Family members and friends looked on proudly as the City celebrated a retiree, swore in promoted members and welcomed new police candidates at the Board of Alderman meeting.
