Newton Fire struck 3 alarms for a major power loss at the Chestnut Hill Towers after a basement fire knocked out the power. The third alarm assignment was request to assist the already fatigued companies with evacuating two 16 story buildings. The Waltham Auxiliary Lighting Plant was called to assist with lighting the lobby area while companies evacuated the residents. LP2 supplied over a quarter mile of cable as it was difficult to get close to the buildings with numerous fire and ambulance companies on scene.
