On December 24th, 2014, Christmas Eve, tragedy struck a residence of Sadsbury Township. A house that was historic to the community became involved in flames and unfortunately was so advanced by the time the fire department received the call it was a total loss. The occupant of the structure loss everything that day and suffered from burn injuries due to the fire.

Recently the Sadsburyville Fire Company answered the call for help again, this time not to put out the fire, but to help rebuild. Our Assistant Chief, Dave Reynolds, owner of Diamond Ridge Construction stepped up and donated his time to put a roof on the new structure. Dave being one of many volunteers giving back to the people involved in this tragedy.

Fortunately Dave knew a couple more people that would assist with this rebuild and called upon the volunteers who help put out the fire to help rebuild after the fire. This past Monday volunteers from the Sadsburyville Fire Company spent their night assisting with putting a roof on the new home.

Fire Chief Adam Grossman stated, "We are glad to give back to our community at a moment's notice and glad we could help these people in their time of need. It is a tough situation to go through losing your belongings and the structure that built your life, we are glad we could help to bring closure back to the occupants of being in their home again."
