The Danvers Butchery Meat Market and Cold Storage Fire (Danvers, Massachusetts - August 13, 2002)
In the early morning hours of August 13, 2002, Danvers, Massachusetts fire
personnel were on the scene of a stubborn fire in a 30 yard dumpster packed with construction
debris. Meanwhile, an arsonist allegedly set a fire outside The Danvers Butchery
one mile away. The ignition location was both behind a fence and blocked from any
neighbor’s view by a tree line. The time of day, approximately 03:00 hours, also made it
unlikely that anyone would notice.
