CHELSEA
Boy, 2, rescued from car on flooded street
A Chelsea firefighter waded through about 3 feet of water Sunday to rescue a toddler from a car stuck on a flooded street, according to the Chelsea Fire Department. The car stalled in the water as the parents of the 2-year-old boy were driving on Vale Street, Deputy Fire Chief John Quatieri said. Their car came to a stop in water high enough to reach the car’s windows, he said. Firefighters arrived at about 9 a.m. to find the boy’s mother, 39, who had managed to exit the car, standing nearby, said Chelsea Fire Captain Robert Brown. He said the boy’s father, 41, who had been driving, was trapped in the car with the child. “There really wasn’t any imminent danger other than them getting wet,’’ Brown said.

BROCKTON
Home delivery to begin for medical marijuana
A Brockton medical marijuana dispensary is about to become the first to offer home delivery of pot to all of mainland Massachusetts. In Good Health will offer next-day delivery to everywhere except Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket starting Monday. Company president David Noble says the service is needed because many medical marijuana patients live long distances from the state’s licensed dispensaries and don’t have transportation. Only state-registered medical marijuana patients will be allowed to order. The products will be delivered in unmarked vehicles, by two employees who don’t carry cash. The service has state approval.

BOSTON
Two manhole covers blown off in explosionTwo manhole covers around Cambridge and Sudbury streets near Government Center were blown off in a fiery explosion Sunday morning, officials said. By around 2 p.m., the fire in the manholes had been extinguished, and crews were entering them to assess the damage, said Eversource spokesman Michael Durand. An underground cable that powers nearby traffic lights failed and caused the fire, according to Durand. He said there may have been built-up gas underground that ignited when the cable failed. No injuries were reported, according to Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald.
