BOSTON (WHDH) - A manhole fire in Boston prompted street closures during the morning commute on Monday.
Emergency crews responded to a manhole fire in the area of Tremont and School streets around 8 a.m.
Officials shut down Tremont Street between Sudbury and Park streets for about two hours. State Street has since been reopened to traffic.
