An overnight fire burned through a mill building in Chelsea, which recently was listed for sale for $30 million.
Chelsea Fire Chief John Quatieri told NBC Boston that the fire, which was reported about 12:30 a.m., reached nine alarms within three hours.
Firefighters from across the Boston area responded to the blaze, which burned through the four-story building at 1 Forbes Street.
Quatieri said the fire was pretty much contained by 6 a.m.
According to CBS Boston, the property has been approved for development after being listed for sale for $30 million.
It was built for the Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing in the early 1900s and remained open until the 1960s, Boston25News.com reported.
Quatieri said firefighters inspected the building often.
"The fire has led to restricted access to the school campus, and our primary concern is the safety of our students, staff, and families," Superintendent Dr. Almi Abeyta shared in a statement about an elementary school being closed Monday.
The fire also caused cancellations on Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Newburyport-Rockport train line.
