Boston Blotter: City Still on Fire

After the terrible fire that destroyed an apartment complex in the North End, the Fenway suffered a three-alarm fire early this morning. Compared to the North End six-alarm incident, that seems minor, but two people died in the Fenway blaze.

NStar was in the area because the neighborhood had no power, and they spotted the problem. No word yet on the cause of the fire.

In weird, creepy blotter news, a Malden neighborhood was evacuated because of a suspicious package. The suspicious package was somehow involved in a "love triangle." Look, folks, you can have your love triangles, but you don't need to drag everyone else into it. That's what the Maury Povich Show is for!

In other news, when robbers barged into his friend's house in Hyde Park last night, a brave little boy caught the spirit of self-preservation and escaped the scene. Police eventually found the kid at another house. Alas, despite turning the place over to find the boy, they didn't find the burglars.

The BPD has what may be the best headline ever: "Suspect Requests Overnight Accommodations After Night of Partying." O, mysterious BPD News writer, Bostonist nominates you to be the city's poet laureate!
