Mr. Dump called me from Aubachon Hardware (on Rt 12/North Main Street) to tell me that fire engines from 4 different communities appeared to be dealing with something near the Fitchburg line. Like near the MART garage. There was no smoke, but there were fire engines and ambulances.
There is no way on the planet to find out what is going on in a timely manner unless it's some sort of MAJOR happening that gets picked up by the news wires. Nothing on the Telegram or Sentinel (no duh) websites either. Now for the latter, even if they had a reporter helping to put out a fire, it wouldn't make their website until tomorrow afternoon. It really isn't reporting "news," it's reporting "olds". Anyhoo, apparently there were lots of trucks and at least one was from Devens. That is some serious mutual aid if they're sending fire trucks from Devens. And yet, I know nothing. He didn't go near it, he had to go home and put the new spool of string on the trimmer. They discontinued our trimmer, doncha know. And Amazon said it could take one to four weeks to ship a replacement pack to us. Holy jungle cruise, Batman! In 4 weeks we won't be able to locate the dog if he stands near the fence! So these are my two complaints of the day:
