SOUNDBITE (English) Andover Fire Chief Michael Mansfield "I`ve been in the fire service for almost 39 years and I`ve never seen anything like this is my entire career. To sum it up, coming in to town, from a community just outside of here responding back in...it looked like Armageddon. It really did. There were billows of smoke coming from behind me in Lawrence. I could see plumes of smoke in front of me in Andover. It looked like an absolute war zone and something that I`ve never experienced in my fire service career and hopefully I don`t have to experience it ever again."
