Six reported manhole fires in the Back Bay on Tuesday night, Feb. 3, resulted in street closures and evacuations in the area, according to published reports.
The first call for a manhole fire reportedly came at 5:21 p.m., at the intersection of Dartmouth and Newbury streets.
Four buildings were eventually evacuated as a precaution, while Boston Police temporarily closed Newbury Street between Exeter Street and Clarendon Street, as well as both Dartmouth and Exeter streets from Boylston Street to Commonwealth Avenue.
No injuries were reported, and the matter remains under investigation.
