Local Woman Discovers Man Inside Burning Bar on Night It Was Destroy by Fire

A resident of Boston’s Mission Hill neighborhood was stopped in her tracks on June 25 by the smashed-up windows of a local bar, the Squealing Pig. She began recording video of the scene, and looked inside to see a man there, and a table on fire.

That fire went on to destroy the much-loved local hangout, and the Boston Fire Department told local media the cause was being investigated as a possible arson.

The local woman, Jeweli Bolton, provided video to Storyful, showing her discovering the damage, and the man next to the fire. Her video also shows later on that night, with fire crews on the scene of a major fire.
