As many of you already know, there was a house fire on Tuesday evening in Amesbury. While our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrible event, we are also proud of the Amesbury Fire Department and the Amesbury Police Department for their quick response and control of the situation. Their efforts ensured that lives were not lost.
Shortly after news of the blaze broke, I was pleased to hear that many residents had already taken up the cause to help any victim in need. We’ve received many inquiries from residents asking how they can support any victims of this fire, so, below you will find a statement from the Pettengill House identifying the best ways to contribute to that cause.
In addition, I’d like to extend my gratitude to the public safety teams in Newburyport, Merrimac, Salisbury, West Newbury, Exeter, and Seabrook for their assistance fighting this fire. Thank you all for looking out for our community.
