Town Officials Assess Future In Wake of Fire
Ayer Massachusetts officials and business leaders met to map the town’s future after a devastating blaze that destroyed two industrial plants and 10 dwellings with unofficial losses around 6 million dollars. Hartnett Tanning Co. and International Rope Co. were wiped out along with homes for about 40 people. The tannery employed 400 and was the town’s main employer, with a history of distributing over 2 million in bonuses. Firefighters fought the flames for over four hours as a 20 mph wind fanned the blaze. Heavy smoke sent 25 people to aid stations, and 10 suffered minor injuries. The destruction hit the center of this 15,000-population town hard.
