RESPONDERS WHO HELPED PUT THAT FIRE OUT. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF FIRE ENGINES THAT WERE OUTSIDE FENWAY, IT CERTAINLY LOOKED BAD. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, AMERICA’S FAVORITE BALLPARK IS INTACT. AFTER CREWS QUICKLY GOT THIS FIRE UNDER CONTROL. A FIRE IN THE KITCHEN NEAR FENWAY PARK, WHERE A. MAKING OUR WAY INTO IT NOW. A FIRE AT FENWAY SPARKING A LARGE EMERGENCY RESPONSE.
