Attic Gutted In Roxbury

On November 10, 1933 just after noon firemen responded to a house fire in Roxbury. A faulty flue caused a fire that gutted an attic of an occupied house. The rural pumper was on the scene quickly and with the use of the booster tank was able to contain the blaze. Neighbors kept the booster tank filled by forming a bucket brigade. Damages were estimated at $100. The Vigilant Hose Company battled the blaze.
