DURING THE HEIGHT of last Saturday’s torrential rain storm, at approximately 6 p.m. on September 6, Haverhill Street was shut down in front of the Trinity Evangelical Church due to a large downed tree. Both fire and police responded. Northbound traffic was detoured through the church’s parking lot and southbound traffic was detoured down Mt. Vernon Street. Captain Michael Tannian (center) and his son Liam, both North Reading firefighters, worked to open up one lane for traffic to pass while waiting for RMLD personnel to arrive. (Dave Richards Photo)
