Fire alarm sounded at 5 15 as three fire companies rushed to a mansion fire near Metacom and Mt Hope avenues. Deep snow hindered progress and lack of water doomed extinguishment, though barns and sheds escaped. The four story colonial house, about 60 feet square, stood center of a large land tract, with flames driven onto surrounding structures before the mansion collapsed.
