Year's Worst Fire Destroys Roof on Chelsea Road
A major fire at 1625 Chelsea Road last Thursday heavily damaged the professional office building roof. Fire Chief Thomas F. Almand said damages reached about $15 000 with wind driven flames forcing side attacks from firefighters. The blaze, caused by an electrical malfunction, was contained after five hours as units from the department plus off duty men fought the flames and police restricted the area. The incident pushes the year’s roof-fire damage near the $22 000 level in the community.
