Actor Mark Wahlberg's childhood home located in a Boston neighborhood was damaged by a fire on Sunday.
A nearby home in the Dorchester neighborhood is said to have caught on fire around 10 a.m. local time Sunday, with winds pushing the flames toward the other homes, Fire Commissioner Paul Burke said. The flames eventually took over three other nearby homes.
"So, it was a total of four three-deckers that were on fire, mostly in the rear of the buildings on the porches," Burke said.
One of the triple-decker style homes, 25 Peverell St., formerly belonged to entertainers Mark and Donnie Wahlberg. Burke said firefighters had to strike six alarms to call in for additional assistance due to the size of the fire. More than 120 firefighters responded to the scene.

"It's a tight street. They couldn't get an aerial ladder up here because of the wires on the poles here. It's a very tight street, so they needed the labor to get going and get everybody in place," Burke told WCVB.
