The Somerville Fire Department responded to reports of a fire at 47 Marion St., a six-unit row house, near Lincoln Park, according to a statement from the City of Somerville. Prior to the fire department's arrival, an Eversource employee used his bucket truck to rescue a woman after she climbed out of a front window onto a small porch roof, city officials told Boston.com via email."
