Two Lynn Fires Under Investigation
Two Lynn fires of suspicious origin destroyed a vacant three story dwelling at 14 Dowling Terrace and damaged Lynn Chain Link Fence Co on Center Street. The Dowling Terrace blaze forced 20 residents from nearby homes as two adjoining houses received smoke and water damage. No injuries were reported and damage estimates were not yet determined. The Chain Link Fence Co fire appears to have started in the rear, gutting two floors of cedar wood fencing storage. State Fire Marshal’s office called in to investigate a three alarm blaze and a two alarm blaze.
