An early report and prompt action by police left firefighters with nothing but smoke when they answered a call to 2442 Acton St. early Tuesday.

Police arrived first when the fire—a suspected arson—was reported at 4:18 a.m.

“They had it out by the time we arrived,” said Deputy Fire Chief David P. Orth.

The incident is still under investigation by BFD’s arson experts.
