House Fire in Rye Injures None, Displaces 5

Firefighters responded to early-morning blaze

A basement fire in a Rye house Thursday morning left no one injured but a family of five displaced, authorities told Patch.

The blaze occurred at about 7 a.m. at 19 Franklin Avenue. Although firefighters were able to extinguish the flames in about one hour, heavy smoke came up one story and poured out the home's windows.

Patch spoke with officials at Rye Fire Department at about 11 a.m., who said the cause of the fire is still unknown, and Rye's fire chief was at the scene investigating.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
