SUTTON, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Sutton and Massachusetts State Fire officials are seeking the public's help in the investigation of a brush fire that broke out earlier in May around a former Motor-In drive-in theater, offering up to $5,000 to anyone who can provide relevant information.
The fire was first reported Sunday, May 1, in the afternoon by motorists traveling along Route 146, officials say. The Sutton Fire Department said the flames consumed several acres of brush on both sides of the roadway, destroying the drive-in's screen tower.
