It was an average game at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati through the first few innings on Friday night. The San Francisco Giants took a quick and early lead over the Cincinnati Reds as Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, and the rest of the offense began to catch fire. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only thing on fire at the ballpark.

Luckily, the fire department quickly came to the rescue and extinguished the flame.

The Reds posted a message on the scoreboard: the fire has been contained, poses no threat to fans and they apologize for the inconvenience.
