Bedford Fire Routs Blaze Through Village Trades

A major fire damaged the Springsteen shop and adjacent buildings on Central Avenue, with flames racing from a hay-filled stall to the carpenter shop and Beebe and Son garage. Firefighters from Bedford battled high winds and fed hydrants as multiple structures burned, with several buildings ultimately threatened or destroyed. A large stock of horses and tools were saved or damaged, and local notices followed on town business including bridge purchase and council roles.
