Fire Rips Through The Squealing Pig in Boston's Mission Hill Neighborhood

A restaurant and bar in Boston that is popular with nearby college students and medical workers has sustained severe damage in an overnight fire.

According to an article from NECN, The Squealing Pig in the city's Mission Hill area was hit by an intense blaze around midnight, with firefighters being able to quickly extinguish the flames but not before causing the interior of the Smith Street spot to be "completely charred." No injuries were reported in the fire, which is currently under investigation.

The Mission Hill location of The Squealing Pig resides near several colleges and universities (including Northeastern) while being a few blocks south of the Longwood medical area; another location of the place can be found in Provincetown.

This is the second fire to hit a restaurant space in two days, as the building housing the soon-to-reopen Jacob Wirth in the Theater District was heavily damaged in a four-alarm blaze late Monday night.
