Boston firefighters responded to the E-5 police station at Centre Street and West Roxbury Parkway after an electrical line and a transformer behind the station caught fire around 8:50 p.m. As an Eversource crew arrived to shut off power, firefighters made sure the fire did not spread into the station, which was recently renovated.

Around 9:15
It looked like a bunch of fireworks went off inside the cop yard. I wonder if the repair went bad.
I live in Watertown right
I live in Watertown right along the Charles across from Newton area -- around the time this happened we heard a series of what sounded like fireworks for a period of several minutes. Was this the culprit? We hear similar noises a lot and are not entirely sure what they are, but never at this level or duration.
Not this, but something similar no doubt
Several transformers in Boston exploded last night under all the stress, so probably something similar happened near you.
That makes sense, thank you
