Fire at the Sahara

A commotion in my South End neighborhood, yesterday at about 3 p.m., centered on the old Sahara restaurant at 296 Shawmut St. The building had been vacant for years. Recently, though, contractors have cleared the back of the building, and they were back at work inside the building late yesterday morning. Somehow they managed to start fires both on the roof and in the dumpster out back. Well, that's one way to speed up the gutting...

Do you think these firefighters are having any fun? I think the guy hanging off the end of the dumpster is, mostly because he doesn't have to trudge around in there.

Everything is OK now. I think.
