Blaze strikes Old Dover School

We were finishing up our tomato canning about 11:30 last night when I smelled smoke and went outside to investigate. The air was pretty thick with smoke. Everything on the farm was OK, so we hopped into the truck and took a drive down 32 less than a block when we spotted the fire. We are across the road from the SW corner of the building. We came home and called 911 and our neighbors to alert them - engines were out there until about 4 this morning - luckily no cinders fell on the gas station across the street from the fire, or we would've have some real problems.

Firefighters were called to a blaze at the Old Dover School just after 11 p.m. Thursday.

Update: Fire could be end for old Dover school

“serious, serious work” would be necessary ... to salvage the structure

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
