Waverly Suffers a Huge Loss in Fire

Officials in the Village of Waverly say it’s going to cost over $1 million to replace all the equipment, including some new dump trucks, that were destroyed when the Waverly/Barton Department of Public Works building burned down August 22.

No one was injured in the fire that was reported just before 10:30 p.m. on Spring Street in the Village.  An electrical problem is blamed.

Residents living nearby also said they heard a possible explosion.

The fire was quickly put out but the building and equipment are not salvageable.
