According to the Boston Fire Department, apparently someone tossed a cigarette onto a mattress in the back yard, it caught fire and the flames then climbed the porches to the top floor.  <\/p>\n<p>Investigators noticed lots of cigarette butts in the yard, so someone in that house was not paying attention.  And obviously, the landlord wasn&#8217;t either.  The property, assessed at $543,500, is owned by Peter Nowd of Needham.  Three units rented to a total of 12 people must generate a nice income.  Every room must be used to sleep in, though, only six bedrooms among all three apartments.  Peter has been using the property as a piggy bank, opening a $150,000 equity line against it in 2006.  He has had an interest in the property, through a real estate trust or directly with his wife, since at least 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Photo via Boston Fire Department.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/abnewsflash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/563499266.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/abnewsflash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/563499266.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"563499266\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-932\" srcset=\"http:\/\/abnewsflash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/563499266.jpeg 600w, http:\/\/abnewsflash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/563499266-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n\r\n\t<div style=\"\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"vertical\" data-text=\"Watch where you toss that butt\" data-url=\"http:\/\/abnewsflash.com\/?p=931\" >Tweet<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fire hit a three-family home at 737 Cambridge Street, Brighton (opposite St. E&#8217;s) just after midnight today.
