Circuit avenue was the setting for a large fire drill Sunday morning involving three Island fire departments. Up to 60 fire and rescue personnel responded to the Lampost Sunday morning for a simulated fire on the second floor dance area.

Oak Bluffs fire chief John Rose said the drill would help departments prepare for a fire in the downtown area, which is particularly vulnerable to fast-spreading fires.

The Edgartown and Tisbury fire departments also participated in the drill, as did the regional communications center and Oak Bluffs police and emergency medical services.
