PSA: Fire in Manhole in Harvard Square

[gnomi]

Just so folks know: There is currently a manhole fire raging in Harvard Square, right near the Holyoke Center.

At the moment, they're still letting people out at Harvard on the Red Line, but this may change.

Buses are being diverted.

More info as I have it.

Things are gradually getting back to normal, but there are reports that further power outages may happen (including the possibility of one where I work). There are still fire trucks going by every few minutes and lots of news trucks parked in the area.

I heard that the fire was now out (as of about 8:30 this morning), but there was still a lot of work to be done.

I can't imagine that the crosswalk construction project is helping things at all.
