Total loss placed at 61000 with two Quinn taxis destroyed. insurance partially covered the damage. The event recalled a prior rescue nine years earlier involving Jaeger. The fire department response was immediate, with a general alarm from box 41. The article ends noting NDAYSCHOOL opening for All Souls Unitarian church next Sunday.
