Electrical Mishap Injures Two at Downtown Crossing


A spark in a battery room released a cloud of smoke this morning at Macy's in Downtown Crossing, injuring two people, a fire official said.

Firefighters responded with a hazardous materials team to what was originally described as a battery explosion on the fourth floor, according to Steve MacDonald, a spokesman for the Boston Fire Department. Officials vented fourth, fifth, and sixth floors to release the smoke created by the spark. The situation was under control within 90 minutes.

Boom! April Fool'd! Only one person was injured!
