Holiday Blogging Begins Now

Newsflash

A woman who apparently attempted suicide by setting her Christmas tree on fire was rescued Monday by a game warden and forest ranger who broke into her Corbett Road home, grabbed her from her bed and threw her out a first-floor window to safety. Forest Ranger Peter Pelletier and Game Warden Paul Farrington were hailed as heroes for getting the woman out of the bedroom despite their lack of training in house fire rescues. […]

The incident began shortly before noon when the woman, apparently distraught over relationship troubles with her live-in boyfriend, set fire to the tree, possibly after firing off a few handgun rounds, and then called 911.

Happy Holidays!
