Thanksgiving fire I firsthand
Plantersville News
I experienced firsthand calling and reporting a fire to 911 dispatchers. There are so many questions to answer before they tell you a truck is on its way. I want to thank the Plantersville-Stoneham VFD for coming out on their Thanksgiving holiday to fight a fire in the BlackBerry community. They made it out just in time before the fire got out of control. Thank God the wind wasn’t blowing, and it didn’t get out of control. We would have been trapped if we didn’t hear the boom that started the fire. Thanks again Plantersville-Stoneham VFD.
