Firefighters from Machias and surrounding towns struggled against single-digit temperatures and unrelenting winds that enveloped them in thick, breath-choking smoke to battle a Christmas Eve fire at the Bluebird Motel on Route 1/Dublin Street in Machias.
That’s according to Machias Fire Chief Joey Dennison, who, on Wednesday — though still exhausted from the experience the previous night — recounted the details of the Christmas Eve fire.
