All these manhole fires and also all the people that be coming out of the manholes in different places.

I drove by 15 minutes ago and the pavement around the manhole was on fire ! Reminded us of a burner on a gas stove - really hoping it’s not a gas leak fire but it really looked like it - does make you worry about what all the mystery folk were doing at night coming out of manholes - hope no one gets hurt
