Dan Esdale captured the fire - and firefighters working to put it out - at Caffe Nero in Somerville's Assembly Row around 1:30 p.m.:

There is an active structure fire right now at Caffe Nerro in Assembly Square with Somerville FD on scene…avoid the area! @wbz @universalhub pic.twitter.com/y4eZFXHdYe

At 2:18, he provided an update:

The is out and @somfdlocal76 are still working the scene. Both @profmichaele and I frequent @CaffeNero_US Assembly Row; hopefully their staff will be able to return to work soon! pic.twitter.com/Iat5Luh4A4

I hope they were able to detour around this.

Did Rome fiddle while Nero burned?

wait for it...roast the beans!
