Looks like doom off, at least for now. All units being relieved, thanking them for their service. Communications returning to normal frequencies.

Hazmat is leaving behind one truck but the scene is being turned over to the Fire Department.

Unusual, not.

Thank you as always : )

Had to...

The security guard waited his whole life to do that

Probably alcohol lol

That was an awesome take down. I watch football, so I'd know.

I haven't read through this thread yet, but my best friend was given tickets to the Sox game tomorrow and asked if I wanted to go.
Neither of us care about sports (I know, it's practically a crime here) but she thought it might be fun. I told her you couldn't pay me to go to Fenway this week, or for the rest of the month for that matter.
She teased me, but only a little, knowing I really meant it! Then I come home and see this.

Don't miss the opportunity to see the green monster

One of the oldest living legends, go Sox

Sounds like it was an anonymous tip that led an inspector to find the chemicals.

They are being awfully mum about who actually is the tenant in the unit in question... you would think that would be relevant to the story.

I think I know why they aren't telling, and it's the reason that everyone got so worried. Can't have people thinking "refugees" are a potential threat.

On Wednesday, a spokesman for the Boston Fire Department said a store owner was apparently letting a friend experiment with making fish oil supplements. Large bags of yeast, omega 3 acids and 55-gallon barrels of hydrogen chloride were found in the basement.

In one corner there are stacks of soda and things for sale for the convenience store,” Boston Fire spokesman Steve MacDonald said. “In the other corner there were 500-gallon drums, workbenches with all sorts of things on them.”
Authorities said it doesn’t appear there was any criminal intent, but the fire department said those cooking oils didn’t belong in the basement of a Fenway business.
Crews were expected to remove the chemicals throughout the day on Wednesday.
