Not The Body Shop!

five minutes later, headin' back to the truck

After a lovely Sunday Brunch, we arrived back to Straus to five firetrucks, a police car, and dozens of puzzled onlookers wondering what was all the ruckus. Across the street on Mass Ave, firefighters were descending upon CVS and C’est Bon as if they were making a run for Veritaffles. At one point, my roommate and I did wonder if we should evacuate our Straus perch but figured “no alarm, no problem!” Luckily, our Titanic-esque logic was not fatal; just as soon as the hoses were unwrapped and the ladder assembled, everyone started to return to their trucks and drive off. This false alarm hawt mess (no smoke or fire spotted) lasted for only five minutes but was a solid distraction from work and an alarm clock for anyone who might have still been sleepin’ away.  A definite WTF moment, we were still impressed that Cambridge Fire Department hustled up like nobody’s business. Kudos!
