The Boston Fire Department reports a hoverboard that burst into flames forced the evacuation of a three-apartment building at 406 Hanover St. in the North End tonight.
Flames were showing when firefighters pulled up at 9:03 p.m. to the 4 1/2-story wood building just steps from a BFD firehouse.
The hoverboard fire, which started in a third-floor bedroom, did an estimated $100,000 in damage the department says, adding occupants were able to find places to stay with family or friends.
