This picture was taken about 5 pm on Tuesday from my office.

Smoke from a fire at the airport |
The fire was apparently a fuel fire at the airport, according to the
local news:
Crews quickly contained a two-alarm fire that was burning at a Logan Airport fuel farm Tuesday afternoon. Black smoke could be seen for miles from the fire on Prescott St. near the economy parking lot.
[. . .]
The fire was in one of 12 underground fuel pumps and started at 5:00pm.
The news article says that the fire was "quickly contained", and the picture I took just a few minutes after the first one, at 5:04pm, confirms it:

The fire is gone and the smoke is beginning to dissipate. |
Fortunately, no one was hurt, and as far as anyone can tell, it was an accident. It was a little alarming seeing that out my window, though.
