Wood Stove Chimney Fire Destroys Savoy Home
SAVOY, Mass. — On Friday, Oct. 20, around 12:15 p.m. the Savoy Volunteer Fire Department was called to a structure fire near Tannery Road.
According to a statement released by the Savoy Volunteer Fire Department upon arrival the over 150-year-old structure was fully engulfed in flames.
Departments from Cheshire, Adams, Windsor and Florida were called. The Northern Berkshire Tanker task force was also called because no water source was immediately available.
The Savoy Volunteer Fire Department determined that the cause of the fire was a chimney fire in a wood stove quickly that spread into the structure's walls.
The fire resulted in a total loss of the home that had to be torn down by an excavator in order to fully extinguish the fire.
One person was displaced from the fire and is being helped by the Red Cross.
