Chemicals found near Fenway Park; homes briefly evacuated
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}BOSTON (AP) People whose neighborhood near Boston's Fenway Park was evacuated while police investigated chemicals stored in the basement of a commercial building have been allowed back into their homes.
Firefighters say the chemicals were in a convenience store-type business and don't appear to be explosive.
Boston fire spokesman Steve MacDonald says initial tests are ''negative as far as atmospheric problems.'' He says hazardous-materials teams continue to investigate the chemicals.
