The Coalition often buys property with a few buildings scattered about that are in such disrepair that they have to be demolished. Before the demolition takes place, the structure can serve various purposes. The Acushnet fire department over the course of a number of days in November and December practiced fire suppression and management tactics they use when fighting structure fires on one such building on land purchased earlier this year abutting our Keating Woods Reserve along the Acushnet River. Firefighters were instructed what to look for and where to use chainsaws and sawzalls to cut holes in the walls and roof to vent smoke and fire.

Stay tuned for much more on this exciting new property on the Acushnet River…
