At about 11 p.m. yesterday the chimney of the Harvard Square Theatre belched out the first of several blasts of smoke from a fire caused by a leaky oil burner.
Several explosions sent smoke gushing from the theatre as firemen fought to shut off the oil burner. The smoke did little damage and no one was hurt. The fire trucks departed shortly before midnight. The theatre was empty at the time of the first blast.
