I have discussed the 1983 fire at Buzzy’s Country Store in several previous posts. However, in going thru the boxes of Buzzy’s old photo’s I came upon an envelope marked simply “Fire.” Inside I found several photo’s that Buzzy and/or someone else took the day(s) after the fire in 1983.
Here for you are those old photo’s taken in 1983.
These first two show how the fire went up into the attic space which was good in that it had somewhere to spread to rather than burn the whole place down.
This one shows Buzzy with hammer in hand as Duncan and Will Mettam prep wood for patching the roof.
Will’s older brother Chuckie along with Pete and Lynn are supervising things.
And now that I have access to the digital copies of back issues of the Enterprise click here to see their original front page story(below) of the fire. (From the linked page, you can click over to Page A4 and Page A6 where you will see other info on the fire.)
