Fire at W.B. Mason warehouse in Boston causes $1 million in damages
The costly fire broke out at around 10:30 a.m. on May 4, according to the Boston Fire Department.
Heavy smoke could be seen coming from the W.B. Mason warehouse — located at 647 Summer St. in South Boston — when firefighters arrived, and a second alarm was ordered, the department said.
Firefighters attacked the blaze inside the building and outside with ladders, Boston Fire Deputy Chief Martin McCormack said. No injuries were reported from the incident.
However, damages from the fire were at an estimated $1 million, McCormack said.
The department began to clear the scene by noon, with some firefighters remaining on the scene to monitor hotspots. The investigation into the cause of the fire was ongoing as of Sunday afternoon.

Man wins big Massachusetts lottery prize by playing lucky elevator numbers
Lottery winner has his wife to thank for big jackpot win Lottery winner has his wife to thank for big jackpot win Lottery winner has his wife to thank for big jackpot win A Massachusetts man's bank account is going up after he played some lucky elevator numbers to win a big lottery prize. Sylvester Semedo of Weymouth won $300,000 in the Mass Cash game. He played the same set of numbers three times on one ticket, and matched all five numbers picked for last Thursday's drawing. The Lottery says Semedo had a very distinctive reason for choosing his numbers. "He won his prizes with a set of numbers he regularly plays that represent the only floors his old work building's elevator used to stop on," the Lottery said in a statement. The winning numbers for June 26 were 2-6-10-14-18. Each Mass Cash play costs $1. The odds of matching all five numbers are 1 in 324,632. Semedo claimed his prize on Friday, and said he plans to use the winnings to go a Boston Red Sox game on the road. He bought his winning ticket at Jenny's Market in Weymouth. The store will get a $3,000 bonus for the sale. Earlier this year, a woman in western Massachusetts won a $100,000 Mass Cash prize after finding her winning ticket in a junk drawer just a few weeks before it was set to expire. Her son had seen a news report about an unclaimed ticket that was closing to expiring and told her to check her old tickets. Last year, a Leicester man won a $2.64 million Megabucks jackpot with the same lucky numbers he's been playing for more than 30 years. He said the numbers consist of his wife's old landline phone number from when they first started dating, as well as her favorite number.
