You may have already heard about the brush fire that ripped through the Fens earlier this evening. Heck, you may have singed yourself in the heat. Or maybe you're one of the 50 firefighters it took to put out the blaze. The fire "started on the Fenway side of the Muddy River and eventually jumped over to the Park Drive side," according to the Globe.

However," she added, "I would need to see the dorsal posterior aspect of the body to confirm these findings." more ›
