Far from the Madding Crowd…

Note: An earlier version of this release mistakenly said that the fire occurred on Wednesday, not Tuesday. GLOUCESTER — Chief Eric Smith reports that the Gloucester Fire Department extinguished an electrical fire Tuesday on Shore Road. A 911 call at 2:54 p.m. reported a fire at 41 Shore Road. A preliminary investigation determined that a contractor working at the home next door did excavator work affecting underground electrical service at 41 Shore, resulting in a fire in the electrical panel. Two people were inside 41 Shore at the time of the incident. They safely evacuated their home with their pet, and no one was injured. They will be displaced temporarily, until repairs are completed at their home. Chief Smith praised his crews for reacting quickly and keeping the fire in check while waiting for National Grid to turn off power in the area. The fire affected the entire electrical system at 41 Shore, with the plumbing also affected during the incident. “Our crews worked swiftly to avoid a spread of the fire,” Chief Smith said. “Their work prevented the fire from becoming a larger incident.”

We are not the only ones who like to stop here and just watch for birds or enjoy the serenity. It’s especially pretty draped in a little fog.

Sawyer Free Library is thrilled host Discover Gloucester’s Culture Splash spotlight event on Thursday, August 22, 5:00 to 6:30 pm. Gloucester singer and song-searcher Michael O’Leary will share a talk and performance based on pieces in the book Fishermen’s Ballads and Songs of the Sea, published in 1874 by the Procter Bros. of Gloucester. It is a collection of 120 pieces by a wide array of authors, both women and men, a few known widely, many known only locally or not at all, and some anonymous or pseudonymous. It’s a literary, musical, and folkloric time capsule of Gloucester, and 2024 is the 150th anniversary of its publication.  Registration for this special event is required at sawyerfreelibrary.org

This program is supported in part by grants from the Gloucester and Manchester Cultural Councils, local agencies supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

The event will take place at the Sawyer Free Library located at 21 Main Street in downtown Gloucester. Registration for this special event is required at sawyerfreelibrary.org. Space is limited. For more information, visit sawyerfreelibrary.org, call 978-325-5500 or email jtravers@sawyerfreelibrary.org.
