Thunder Storm causes 2 separate building fires
July, 2008
A quick thunderstorm raced through Wellesley, with significant lightening.  The first strike
was on Linden Street at the VW Dealership, causing a fire on the 2nd floor.  While Wellesley
Fire went to work, a second fire on Wingate Road was reported in a private dwelling.  
Companies were released from the first fire and went to the second, along with Newton and
Needham.  Both fires were stopped quickly by Wellesley Fire.
