Dumpster Fire At Boston City Hall Plaza

The fire was big enough that it required more than just a fire extinguisher.

BOSTON — Firefighters are responding to a dumpster fire at City Hall Plaza. Someone called it in just before 12:45 p.m. It's not clear what started the fire or how serious it is, but it's sure to cue the jokes. A "dumpster fire" is slang for a mismanaged situation or disaster that no one wants to deal with.
