A smoke machine apparently malfunctioned just as the second act began, setting the smoke alarms screaming and sending patrons running from the theater on Lyman Circle.

BEVERLY, Mass. (AP) -- A malfunctioning fog machine stored under the stage caused a fire that did $3 million worth of damage to the North Shore Music Theater, fire officials say.

When video leaked online showing her being removed, campaign manager Drew Sexton confirmed the accusations, but denied Boebert was vaping, saying the haze was from fog machines.
