The Boston Fire Department reports firefighters responded at 6:05 p.m. to 15-17 Delford St., off Washington Street, for a two-alarm fire that displaced ten people.

The department says one resident was injured, but not seriously. In addition to residents, firefighters rescued a pet turtle named Shellshocker.

The department estimated damage at $400,000 and says the cause is under investigation.

When she posted it, the headline was "back yard on fire"

Delford Street was the street that was badly flooded in 1996.
