A bystander this morning told me that the fire is believed to have started from the furnace. The store had just closed at 8 p.m. and not long after smoke was seen billowing out of a vent. Fairfax is now left without a store where you can purchase a pound of fresh hamburg or have someone behind the meat counter cut you a couple of nice steaks. Last year Pierre had added the cooler on the side where Isabel Boutin lives. Just a terrible, terrible loss to the town, not only for its Historic value, but its convenience as a grocery store with a full line of groceries.
