Firefighters protect exposures in Clarksburg Clarksburg, MA. Firefighters conducted a demolition burn for a town resident, which quickly reduced the single story dilapidated structure, to a cellar hole. With the assistance of the Stamford (VT) Fire Department, the burn was a great opportunity to conduct tanker shuttles, manage hose streams and convey the importance of protecting exposures. The garage and shed, 20 feet away, were completely unscathed by the burn.
Leominster MA. FireďŹ ghters put out a ďŹ re reported in a vacant home on Glenwood Drive Saturday November 3rd about 12:20 a.m. Companies arrived on scene with ďŹ re showing from the back and side of the house. Deputy Chief Jeffrey Davis called the working ďŹ re and requested a RIT company from the City of Fitchburg to the ďŹ re. The home was boarded up and due to the volume of ďŹ re, the ďŹ reďŹ ghters were unable to gain entry. It is the second time the home has been the site of a ďŹ re in less than a year. The home appeared to have

been broken into back in December 2011. There was heavy damage to the building and remains uninhabitable. Local police are working with the ďŹ re department and state ďŹ re marshal's ofďŹ ce to determine a cause of the blaze.
