WATERTOWN â It appears a real estate agency will continue operating after its two owners were shot and killed this week by a former employee.
WATERTOWN â Jenn Bossuot wonders if she should have asked Barry K. Stewart about his day, coming after she spoke with the man just minutes before he walked into an office and shot two real estate brokers.
Over the phone, Ms. Bossuot, an appraiser out of Felts Mills, spoke with Stewart, the man who allegedly shot two real estate brokers inside their Clinton Street business at about 1:47 p.m. Wednesday, before taking his own life.
âHe was short with me,â Ms. Bossuot said. âUsually he would tell me a stupid joke or funny story.â
FASNY has designated April 24-25 as the 12th annual RecruitNY Weekend.
âIn response to COVID-19, many firehouses across the state are choosing to organize a virtual open house or conduct other digital outreach in an effort to attract new volunteers,â states a news release from the organization. âSome firehouses, based upon local conditions, may still elect to open their doors to the public.â
The FASNY statement points out that âtodayâs firefighters are responding to more calls now than ever before, and these calls are increasingly diverse, between medical emergencies and COVID-19 calls to flooded basements, downed power lines, automobile accidents, and of course for fires. The pandemic has also added challenges surrounding training and new member recruitment.â
GREAT BEND â One person inside a trailer that was engulfed in flames Friday morning escaped through his bedroom window, and first responders later saved two dogs.
Nearly 10 fire departments responded to 35631 Jackson II Road shortly after 8 a.m. Friday for reports of a trailer fire.
Great Bend Fire Chief Mark Pomerville said there were flames coming from the front and back windows by the time they arrived on scene. Crews were able to make a rather quick hit on the flames, saving much of the exterior.
He said two people live there but only one person was inside at the time of the blaze. The man inside escaped from his bedroom window. He was evaluated in an ambulance shortly after. It was unclear if he was taken to a hospital.
