Good thing we're supposed to get some rain Wednesday: Fire erupts in Blue Hills Reservation

Brush fire south of the Great Blue Hill

BostonTimelapse looked out of his South Boston window towards the Blue Hills Reservation around 7:50 tonight and saw the red-hued smoke from brush fires in the park. He reports that an hour later, the fires, or at least the glow from them, had died down.

Kristen Eck at WBZ has some video from directly overhead the fires, in the part of the reservation in Milton.

The National Weather service is still calling for "much needed widespread, meaningful rain late Wed night into Thu."

I wonder who started it

Finally: Proof the Great Blue Hill is a volcano!

Hard to tell, but I'm guessing that might be Chickatawbut Hill being silhouetted by the glowing smoke, and Great Blue Hill is the one with the light on top just at the edge of the photo on the right.

So I moved from JP to CA in 2014 and as you might expect, wildfires are a relatively regular occurrence here. These fires in MA are weird.

A bomb cyclone - what we would call a Nor'Easter - is fixing to nuke the Northwest with blizzard conditions.

I told friends and family that we really need that Nor'easter and they should give it back!

I went for my weekly Blue Hills bike ride this morning around 7 AM. Hillside Street was closed to traffic, and accross the street from Houghton's pond, where this picture was taken, there were no flames but the ground was still a bit smoky.
