It’s so much more fun to watch boats and other watercraft from your own watercraft. And because it’s a beautiful day, you never know what else you might see besides F/V Jennie n Rose, Claudia Marie, Amanda & Andy as well as Schooner FAME (especially nice to see her out and about!)

Quick Work by Gloucester Fire Department Prevents Spread of Apartment Building Fire

Chief Eric Smith reports that the Gloucester Fire Department quickly extinguished a fire overnight in an apartment building.

At 1 a.m. Thursday, crews received a report of a fire at 59 Prospect St., at the intersection with Mason Street. The first arriving company found fire on the staircase and landing that connects 59 Prospect St. with a building at 25 Mason St.

The fire was knocked down within minutes of firefighters’ arrival.

“If not for the quick response and knockdown of this fire, the damage and loss would have been far more significant,” Chief Smith said.

Five people were displaced until repairs are made to the building.

After an investigation, it was found that cause of the fire was careless disposal of smoking materials. The Gloucester Fire Department reminds residents to properly dispose of smoking materials, whether inside or outside.

Station coverage was provided by Beauport Ambulance and the Rockport Fire Department.

Help us launch the race boats this Saturday May 13th.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The IDRC will be launching the race boats this Saturday May 13th @ 9AM.  Meet us at 28 Gee Ave in Gloucester to help load the boats on trailers and transport to the landing at the high school.  3 boats to launch and 2 boats to pull.  Should only take an hour or so, and we will be ready for the season.  We will need one more trailer and a few hands to make light work of moving the dories.  Let us know if you can make it, or if you have a truck/trailer available that morning.

The board will also hold a meeting next week on Tuesday evening, May 16th @ 7pm at the dory shop, Harbor Loop, Gloucester.  If you’d like to help out with our upcoming events, feel free to stop by and contribute.  The more you put in the more you can get out of your membership.

See you this Saturday!!
