At the firehouse

Above: Three nuns paid their respects to the fallen and injured firefighters at the Centre Street firehouse today as photographers and cameramen somehow stayed out of their way even as they got right up in their faces.

Below: Meanwhile, over at Tai Ho, firefighters and fire investigators tried to figure out exactly what happened even as a clean-up crew began boarding up windows and sweeping the sidewalks.

The Boston Globe reports:

The ventilation system in the kitchen at Tai Ho Mandarin and Cantonese Restaurant was blocked and grease had been accumulating in an 8 to 10 inch crawl space above a drop ceiling. Employees and diners at the restaurant did not know that flames were smoldering overhead, leaving the fire unnoticed until it was detected in the kitchen at about 9 p.m.

The grease thing seems to be the consensus. It would account for the way things unfolded.
