Winthrop Firemen Respond Fast At Island Blaze
Winthrop firefighters rushed to Deer Island after a box alarm sounded at 2 30 pm. Chief Tewksbury led crews ferrying across the Gut to battle a hospital group fire in Ward B with poor water pressure challenging efforts. Engineer William E. Ricker revived an aged city engine to aid the response despite leaks. The blaze, likely from spontaneous combustion, spread through a 250 by 60 foot wooden building and connected structures as the wind driven flames spread.
