boston.com pulls plans for flaming pumpkin of doom
By adamg - Mon, 10/19/2009 - 5:42pm.
Channel 4 reports the site took down a design for a jack-o-lantern with a three-foot-high flame after an aghast state fire marshal's office complained. The Globe said it agreed to delete the flaming pumpkin even though it "added a warning to only attempt it outdoors, away from flammable materials, and with a fire extinguisher at hand."

When I read that in Sunday's paper, I thought, "Cool, but it's probably illegal in most places in the area." I know it would be in Somerville, where you can't have an open flame within 10 feet of a structure, which in my neighborhood is just about everywhere except the middle of the street.
