Its going to be a VERY VERY long night for those guys, hopefully they all stay safe. This is the part that seemed to have the heaviest fire, http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/displa...BS%20MASS,3-TA The scene is very busy up there troopers and locals ever where, state fire marshals up there all ready.

of course Fox said that.
they over exagerate everything
I did not hear Fall River or Westport, fairhaven, Dartmouth, or Attleboro.......

and I listened to it MOST of the night.

Oh well.

They've ruled it as arson....hmmmmmmm DSS home for troubled kids next building over.....Hmmmmmmmm I wonder....

Posted by: PVD24

hmmm.. its DYS, and there is no way that a kid could have access to that building. The closest they can get is the Rec Yard and they have no access to anything else... They are Juveniles awaiting trials and some committed kids... Not DSS kids in group homes...

No great loss...................

That old admin building has been closed and exposed to weather for many, many moons!!!!
Too bad Sgt Sykes was retired, he would've loved to see that fire!!!
