Fire chars cars at Harvard Business garage

By Ari Bloomekatz, Globe correspondent

The Harvard Police Department and the Boston Fire Department are investigating a fire today at a Harvard Business School parking garage in Allston.

Four or five cars went up in flames on the third floor of the Soldier's Field parking garage on Western Avenue shortly after noon, Harvard police Sergeant Bill Chipman said. He said at least 15 cars have smoke and heat damage.

Students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the business school who have parked their vehicles in the garage will be able to retrieve them once officials determine whether the building is structurally sound.
