End of an era
Stowe Fire Department hosts a training event at the former home of Lillian and Walt Zuber on North Hollow Road in Stowe.
Crews from Morrisville, Cambridge and Waterbury joined Stowe for the training on a clear, windless day, March 21. The Zubers were longtime Stowe residents, both deceased, who ran a beloved pick-your-own blueberry operation for decades.

Two days after the Stowe Fire Department's training exercise that reduced the former Zuber residence to ashes, an excavator prowled the site knocking down the foundation that remained after the fire. Piles of concrete and stone, as well as scrap metal, dotted the site. Besides the foundation, all that was left were clouds of ash.
