Fire consumes four acres on Raymond estate near Saxonville
Sudbury firefighters battled a stubborn blaze that raged for over five hours on the Raymond estate edge of Saxonville. A pond hose fed the line as dry pine needles fed the flames, torching four acres and forcing hot ground conditions that kept two men on duty for three days to prevent new outbreaks. Investigators suspect careless picnickers started the fire, with scattered late newspapers found among trees. Nearby, residents Mr William H Wessell and Mrs Milbery hosted visitors at a Millbery home.
