Nice save.
Great knockdown in a short time,and good overhaul to keep
damage as little as could be.
Several years ago the Edgartown Fire Department saved our house from a rapidly spreading fire in the woods next to our house. It was frightening to see the power of flames moving towards our house on a windy day. I was eternally grateful. I was amazed at how quickly and intelligently they responded to the situation. The Kriegsteins are good friends and I am so impressed with the intelligence and skill of the Oak Bluffs fire department. We are so lucky to have these and other fire fighters on our Island. Thanks you guys for a job well done!
