Fire vs. house. Fire wins. (John Fisken photos)
It’s gettin’ toasty in here.
Firefighters develop their hose skills.
“Who brought the marshmallows?!?!”
History burned Saturday.
The house on Barrington Drive in Oak Harbor that once belonged to Whidbey historian and newspaper legend Dorothy Neil was brought down in a controlled fire, so area firefighters could train.
Live on the scene to document the final moments of the 1907 house, which for years sat next door to the offices of The Whidbey News-Times (including a few years when I toiled in those offices) was travelin’ photo man John Fisken.
The pics above are courtesy him, and, oh Canada, we beat you again.
