We lost several dark fiber circuits out of Lightower in Worcester, MA.
There is a manhole fire down the street at Main St. & Highland
St. that is most likely the cause.  Smoke is billowing out of several
manholes.  NGrid, NStar, police & fire are on the scene.  Lightower
has dispatched techs.  No ETR yet.

One other of my circuits that leaves the building via a diverse path
is still up luckily, or we'd be off the net entirely.
