PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland firefighter had just crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon when she heard the first blast.
Christine Pezzulo didn’t think much of it. In a phone interview with Fox 12, Pezzulo said she figured it was just fireworks as part of the festivities of the annual event.
“Then, when the second blast went off, I knew it wasn’t fireworks,” she said. “I knew it wasn’t good.”
