Three Somerset Street apartment buildings were destroyed by fire on August 16, 2007. It took 65 firefighters more than 10 hours to knock down the stubborn blaze.
On September 15th 2007, one month later, local Open Stage musicians will be holding a simultaneous Open Stage at 6 separate venues to help the 31 fire victims who lost their homes and possessions.
