According to a Harwich FD media statement, at 3:15 Monday afternoon a Barnstable County Sheriff's Officer received a 911 call from a resident on Teaberry Avenue reporting heavy black smoke, flames and an explosion at a house on Fernwood Circle. A first alarm assignment was dispatched for Harwich, with Automatic Aid from Dennis, Brewster and Chatham.
The Harwich FD media statement continues as follows:
?An off-duty Fire Lieutenant was first to arrive and reported heavy smoke and fire in the rear of a one-story wood frame house, extending to the interior.

The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire.
Fire reportedly extended into the attic, first floor and basement. It was brought under control in about 30 minutes and companies remained on scene until around 5:15. The house sustained heavy damage to the attic, first floor and basement.
Brewster, Dennis, Chatham, Orleans, and Yarmouth assisted at the scene, while Orleans, Eastham, and Hyannis provided station coverage.
The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time, but is not believed to be suspicious, Harwich Firefighters say.

| HN PHOTO NOTES: Comes now a beautiful couple, to be married despite the usual ugly violence on the green? Friday April 18, 2025 |
| Locksley Hall (1835)
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn.
.
'T is the place, and all around it, as of old, the curlews call,
Dreary gleams about the moorland flying over Locksley Hall;
.
Locksley Hall, that in the distance overlooks the sandy tracts,
And the hollow ocean-ridges roaring into cataracts.
.
Many a night from yonder ivied casement, ere I went to rest,
Did I look on great Orion sloping slowly to the West.
.
Many a night I saw the Pleiads, rising thro' the mellow shade,
Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid.
.
Here about the beach I wander'd, nourishing a youth sublime
With the fairy tales of science, and the long result of Time;
.
When the centuries behind me like a fruitful land reposed;
When I clung to all the present for the promise that it closed:
.
When I dipt into the future far as human eye could see;
Saw the Vision of the world and all the wonder that would be.?
.
In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin's breast;
In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest;
.
In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish'd dove;
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love [?]
.
HN PHOTO NOTES: Ah springtime, when a young Hyannis man's fancy turns to thoughts of love?
? and pummeling one another on the village green.
The natives realize the hub of Cape Cod is a city of stark contrasts (especially as the young bucks become increasingly frisky, as the finer things begin to blossom); a lively harbor and breathtaking shoreline on one hand, violent frisky morons on the other. And this morning was no exception?
Shortly after 11:00 a.m. ? Good Friday, 2025 Anno Domini ? Barnstable Police officers and Hyannis Firefighters responded to the Hyannis Village Green for an assault victim. It was described as a ?simple assault,? which in cop parlance basically means officers did not have probable cause to make a warrant-less arrest should they ever happen upon the alleged assaulter. But nonetheless?
? a young adult male had suffered what were believed to be minor injuries. And he was eventually transported to Cape Cod Hospital for further evaluation.
It's boring stuff, reporting on the fat lips and black eyes from the frequent, frisky fisticuffs on the Hyannis Village Green ? so boring in fact, that if the injuries do not rise to ?major? or ?life-threatening,? (which wouldn't be unprecedented), HN often decides to not bother publishing what we long-suffering Hytown residents consider to be some of the less fortunate, uglier signs of spring?
? but then suddenly, the merciful news gods sent down a holy image from far, far above the daily mess outside of Barnstable Town Hall.
Out of the blue, it was a fresh-faced, handsome United States Marine and his strikingly beautiful bride-to-be!
The strapping young ?Ben? from Sandwich and the stunningly vibrant ?Mary? from Medway, Massachusetts, both in the springtime of their lives, joyfully followed a Justice of the Peace up the front steps to be married inside town hall.
Watching this miraculous, more attractive side of Hyannis living unfold, one instantly became oblivious to the violent nonsense which had occurred moments prior. It was a blessing from above, to say the least?
Ben told HN he once worked with a local towing company and remembers me from earlier crash scenes. He is still in the process of his specialized training as a U.S. Marine and expects to be soon assigned to a Marine Regiment in Fort Devens, Massachusetts.
Congratulations Ben and Mary! And thank you for today's inspiring gift amid the daily downtown nonsense! May God bless you both and keep you both safe and sound!
