The Globe reports.

Kevin McCrea and his wife went down to Suite in the Alley off Boylston last night for some dancing. Then the fire alarms started blaring. For 10 minutes. Firefighters arrived. And the whole time the DJ kept playing music and almost nobody left:

... People from the club were telling people trying to leave that this problem had happened before and that everything would be fixed in a couple minutes. By now the alarms had been going on for about 10 minutes. A few people were in the lobby trying to decide to come or go, looking a bit concerned but also peer pressured into going in as they had paid their cover charge. Then three fire fighters came in the front door, with full regalia. They were escorted by one of the nightclub workers and they went down the side hall not seeming to mind there was a nightclub full of people in front of them with the alarms going off and no one leaving. ...

Of course, you know what happened about a mile away basically right around the corner.

Charged with assault and battery on stepdaughter.

Paul Nemes, 58, will be arraigned in West Roxbury District Court this morning on a charge of assault and battery resulting in serious injury for an incident at the Polish American Club on River Street in Hyde Park, according to the Suffolk County DA's office.

Boston Police report Nemes got into a fight with a 62-year-old guy inside the club around 7:45 p.m. yesterday. When EMTs arrived, they found the man in the parking lot, apparently suffering from a serious heart attack, but also with "visible scrapes and abrasions to his face, and scrapes and abrasions to his hands and knees." He was taken to Brigham and Women's; listed in critical condition.

The Globe reports Nemes, a Norwood resident, is a Boston firefighter.

On Sunday, another Boston firefighter was allegedly drunk when he plowed into a car driven by another alleged drunk.

Innocent, etc.

UPDATE: The Bulletin Newspapers report on today's memorial service as well as a barbecue banquet provided by Tex's BBQ of Dedham as a way for the firefighters to thank West Roxbury.

They're not letting the city or the union tell them how to thank West Roxbury for its support after the Tai Ho fire.

According to the Bulletin Newspapers, the men of Engine 30 and Ladder 25 will start their cookout thank-you barbecue immediately after a 1 p.m. memorial service for Warren Payne and Paul Cahill - in the Hyde Park Savings Bank parking lot next to the Centre Street station.

Fire brass had ordered the cookout canceled earlier this week, saying they did not feel it an appropriate way to honor the two men's memories.

Maybe Kevin Cullen has finally returned from his extended summer vacation and is going to start writing thoughtful columns about life in Boston, like today's column on putting a year's worth of woes for Boston firefighters in perspective. One can hope, anyway.

Around 11:30 p.m., Wednesday, at Warren and Moreland streets. A witness reports the truck was headed outbound, the car crossing from Moreland, was hit on the right side, spun around, its trunk hit a light pole. No word on injuries.

Cancels cookout planned for Friday; West Roxbury firefighters wanted to thank the community for its support after the Tai Ho fire.

His lawyer compares his case to that of that carnival worker set free:
