I am new to this site but am learning very fast that one NEVER should say anything bad about anything to do with anything in the lakes region or there will be folks that have problems with the observations.
If you actually "look" at the picture you can see that the power company trucks are across the street from the fire. The building appears to be located at a Y shaped intersection. The power company workers are the ones standing in the photo with their yellow hardhats on. Other than the FD Command vehicle it doesn't appear (to me) that the FD has arrived on scene at the time of the photo.
My comment earlier is directed at your implication that the FD (or whoever) would purposely leave vehicles in harms way to get them replaced as collateral damage. "Our tax dollars at work". Please...spare me...about half of the Wolfeboro FD is Call/Volunteer.
