Smoke on the Gilford/Alton Line

Irrigation Guy · 07-12-2007, 05:08 PM

Was lucky enough to spend some time on the boat today, mostly in the vicinity of Long Island. I noticed alot of smoke across the lake, looked like a pretty big fire. Anyone with any information to share on this? Just curious, thanks!

Had a 20x24 cottage fully involved, 1st alarm. No one inside. I don't know what the end result was......

I'm told it was a place on Anniversary Hill Road, just off Route 11 in West Alton. Between Owl's Nest and the William Tell. Not sure what is left of it.

My sister saw it when she was on Rt. 11 headed to my house this afternoon, but she doesn't know the area well enough to tell me exactly where it was. It's good to know no one was inside, I hope no one was hurt.

When my sister first saw the smoke she was afraid it was another historic building in the Bay, we're still a bit shook up from the Pavilion fire...
