Two firefighters died in Boston after a nine-alarm blaze stroke a four-story building in the historic Back Bay neighborhood.

A nine alarm blaze is the highest level of severity, Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said.

More than 150 firefighters arrived at the scene. They started searching the building for occupants when the blaze quickly escalated due to strong winds.

All residents of the building were pulled to safety, while firefighters kept fighting to extinguish the fire. 

According to MacDonald, quoted by Reuters, the firefighters were trying to keep the blaze from spreading to neighboring buildings on a day when the city was buffeted by high winds.

Eighteen of the firefighters were hospitalized while Lt. Edward Walsh, 43, and firefighter Michael Kennedy, 33, died after becoming trapped in the basement of the building.

According to the New York Daily News, they were among the first two companies to respond to the fire.

Walsh, of West Roxbury leaves a wife and three children, two boys and a girl, all younger than 10. 

A major roadway behind the burning building was closed by State police, impacting traffic, Reuters reported.

Rums­feld 'trained ape' com­ment stirs con­tro­ver­sy

Three years ago, an uprising against the Assad regime turned into what looked like a straightforward civil war between Syrian government forces and rebels. However, over time, what had started as a largely secular opposition movement began to take on more of a radical Islamist tone, with two al Qaeda offshoots -- the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra -- becoming the dominant forces on the ground across the rebel-held North.

One VICE filmmaker managed to secure unprecedented access to both al-Qaeda factions battling Syria\'s government forces, despite the risk of journalists being kidnapped. This is a remarkable portrait of the foreign volunteers and local Syrians willing to fight and die to establish a new caliphate on Europe\'s doorstep.

BREAKING: Police raid home of Malaysian pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah. BREAKING: MH370 Was Hijacked - A Malaysian government official has told the Associated Press the government has concluded missing Boeing 777 was hijacked. BREAKING: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may have been deliberately diverted to Andaman Islands US Navy: Moving ship to Indian ocean for search US looking at Indian Ocean for missing Malaysian plane based on new information WASHINGTON (REUTERS) -- A new search area may be opened in the Indian Ocean as authorities try to determine what happened to missing Malaysian airliner MH370, the White House said on Thursday. "It's my understanding that based on some new information that's not necessarily conclusive -- but new information -- an additional search area may be opened in the Indian Ocean," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "And we are consulting with international partners about the appropriate assets to deploy." Mr Carney did not specify the nature of the "new information." The United States has been helping in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, including the deployment of US Navy vessels. "There are a number of possible scenarios that are being investigated as to what happened to the flight. And we are not in a position at this time to make conclusions about what happened, unfortunately. But we're actively participating in the search," Mr Carney told a regular news briefing. "We're looking at information, pursuing possible leads, working within the investigation being led by the Malaysian government," he added. Meanwhile, a senior Pentagon official told ABC News that a guided missile destroyer - the USS Kidd - is being deployed to the Indian Ocean to continue rescue efforts. The official, who said there were indications that the plane flew four or five hours after dropping off from the radar, added that it would take another 24 hours before the ship reaches its destination. An official also told the AFP that "the Kidd is going to the Straits of Malacca and will be searching in the western section of the strait at the request of the Malaysian government." The international hunt initially focused on the South China Sea east of Malaysia, along the plane's intended route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. But the desperate search has expanded to include waters on both sides of peninsular Malaysia. Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein had earlier refuted reports that the missing plane flew a few hours after its last reported position.

Two firefighters died in Boston after a nine-alarm blaze stroke a four-story building in the historic Back Bay neighborhood. A nine alarm blaze is the highest level of severity, Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said. More than 150 firefighters arrived at the scene. They started searching the building for occupants when the blaze quickly escalated due to strong winds. All residents of the building were pulled to safety, while firefighters kept fighting to extinguish the fire. According to MacDonald, quoted by Reuters, the firefighters were trying to keep the blaze from spreading to neighboring buildings on a day when the city was buffeted by high winds. Eighteen of the firefighters were hospitalized while Lt. Edward Walsh, 43, and firefighter Michael Kennedy, 33, died after becoming trapped in the basement of the building. According to the New York Daily News, they were among the first two companies to respond to the fire. Walsh, of West Roxbury leaves a wife and three children, two boys and a girl, all younger than 10. A major roadway behind the burning building was closed by State police, impacting traffic, Reuters reported. ----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­---------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.

Syria: Al-Qaeda's New Home
Syria: Al-Qaeda's New Home

Three years ago, an uprising against the Assad regime turned into what looked like a straightforward civil war between Syrian government forces and rebels. However, over time, what had started as a largely secular opposition movement began to take on more of a radical Islamist tone, with two al Qaeda offshoots -- the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra -- becoming the dominant forces on the ground across the rebel-held North. One VICE filmmaker managed to secure unprecedented access to both al-Qaeda factions battling Syria's government forces, despite the risk of journalists being kidnapped. This is a remarkable portrait of the foreign volunteers and local Syrians willing to fight and die to establish a new caliphate on Europe's doorstep.
