Fireground: East Hadley Road Command


 The Boulders, South Amherst



A fire broke out on the upper floor apartment of the The Boulders Apartment complex in South Amherst around 1:30 this afternoon.  The complex has been undergoing exterior renovations over the past few months but the apartment that caught fire was occupied.

Fortunately no injuries to tenants or firefighters.

Spring break week and AFD is still pushed to the limit. When are citizens' going to no longer tolerate that AFD is dangerously understaffed and force the Town Manager and Select Board to stop ignoring this clear and present danger? Is adding to the Town's stabilization fund or free cash account more important to the them than human life? They may say no, but their actions say yes.

How many of the smoke detectors in the building actually worked this time?
