Cambridge police spokesman Jeremy Warnick says at least seven buildings are on fire. He says some injuries have been reported but none of them are serious. The city has turned a recreation youth center into a shelter for displaced families.
Fire crews were called in from surrounding cities and towns to help after the first calls came about 2 p.m. Saturday. They were still fighting the blaze long after the sun went down.
