Fire damages Fairhaven’s Jackson’s Variety

One of Fairhaven’s iconic landmarks, Jackson’s Variety, caught fire early Monday morning.

Fairhaven’s first responders arrived at the scene within minutes of first reports, but witnesses reported an issue with the nearest fire hydrant.

Police blocked traffic coming or going at the head of Sconticut Neck while the fire department dealt with the blaze and unfortunately, this meant many upset commuters.
