I awoke to this at 3:30 am after the Red Sox game

Totally freaky to wake up at 3:30am, three hours after getting back from the Sox game, to discover this happening on my street. Big fire trucks, flashing lights everywhere. I had to go outside to find out what was going on or I never would've gotten back to sleep. Fortunately the first thing I found out was that everyone was OK! And it is good to know the hydrant across the street is actually functional. I'm never gonna park too close to the corner again.
