A fire alarm went off at the Tufte Building 10 Boylston Place alleyway. Upon arrival, ECPD determined a smoke alarm in the Allen’s Alley loading dock was activated due to exhaust emitting from a vehicle providing grease trap services. The Boston Fire Department responded and authorized the silencing of the alarm panel. No one evacuated the Tufte Building because the involved floors were vacant, BPD authorized re-entry into the building.
