• 2-alarm fire decimates Dunstable home (lowellsun.com) — A two-alarm fire heavily damaged a home at 1095 Main Street in Dunstable late Tuesday afternoon, displacing several residents just before Christmas. No one was injured, but firefighters had to truck in water due to a lack of hydrants, and multiple neighboring departments assisted while investigators work to determine the cause.
