I photographed the aftermath of a fatal fire in Dorchester, and then quickly left there and responded to a call about a car in the water near the JFK Library/UMASS Boston campus. A woman living in the large Dorchester apartment building perished in the early morning fire, and the man involved in the car-in-water incident, apparently drove himself to his untimely death. I always try to highlight the positives, i.e a rescue attempt, when it comes to covering these events, but sadly, there were none.
