An early morning fire today damaged the roof of Boston Lamb and Veal at Newmarket Square.
An electrical short circuit on the rooftop air conditioners at the meat distributor’s Southampton Street building sparked a two-alarm blaze at about 2:30 a.m., said Steve MacDonald, a Boston Fire Department spokesman.
MacDonald said firefighters were able to douse the fire quickly and limit damage, which he estimated at $200,000, to the roof only.
No one was injured. This latest fire came a day after a seven-alarm blaze destroyed the James Hook & Co. lobster warehouse and thousands of pounds of lobster.
