Mass. State Police
The Brighton fire caused $4 million in damage.
It is a scene straight out of science fiction.
The Massachusetts State Police today released infrared camera photos taken by the State Police helicopter during the fire that destroyed a block of stores in Brighton on Sunday.
In stark black-and-white, firefighters can be seen spraying the fire from atop a tower ladder.
The four-alarm blaze reported shortly before 6 a.m. caused $4 million in damage, destroying four businesses at the corner of Chestnut Hill Avenue and Embassy Road. Four firefighters were injured but none of the injuries were life-threatening.
