Start Date: 7/26/2016 -  
A 236-year old home in Plymouth burned, and there was no water around the home to be used to extinguish the fire. Streams near the 2½-story structure, built in 1780, were dry, forcing firefighters to truck in all water. Town records showed that the 857-square-foot home had an assessed value of about $100,000.
