When a fire tore through Veranda House hotel people from across the island — and Cape Cod — came together to overcome what many called a tragedy.
All three floors were on fire when fire crews arrived, and the flames were too big for firefighters to enter the 18-room hotel, officials said. When the fire started, only five firefighters were on duty.
Erickson confirmed to NBC10 Boston later Saturday that"several individuals were treated at Nantucket Cottage Hospital for injuries sustained while responding to the fire at Veranda House hotel.""It's a bad fire in a wooden town and you always worry about the spread of the fire," said Dr. Tim Lepore, who tended to the firefighters' primary needs, like oxygen, and helped set up a triage.
He works at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, where Erickson works as the interim president. She aided firefighters as soon as she arrived. Firefighters from the Cape, including Hyannis and Yarmouth, caught high-speed ferries to provide relief to their fellow firemen.
