I’ve seen confirmed reports that a train is disabled, and unconfirmed reports that it derailed. Two trains stuck behind it and they are evacuating passengers through the tunnels. Derailment seems likely, otherwise they would just reverse the other two trains back to the Kenmore. Also, sounds like it happened at the switch where the E branch separates form B/C/D. No injuries, but definitely a mess.

Not Boston, but my neighbors in Quincy liked a good barrel fire. It was like their version of a fire pit. Nice house, yard, gazebo, and an oil drum they used for fires. One day they had one rip-roaring with like, 10ft flames. It was wild. The fire dept showed up, engine and chief. They politely approached and said, "yeah you can't do that here." The neighbors started to put it out and the brigade left before the fire was even extinguished.

All that to say: I don't know, but I'm pretty sure you could get away with it.

turns out, most things are illegal if you ask about them, but if you've got a backyard and a burn bowl, its doubtful anyone will ever know.. Just don't do a google search for "Can I burn photos in the backyard" and "What is the punishment for burning photos and letters" and "can you recognize photos after they have been burned in a backyard" and you should be fine.
