August 16, 2002 - I visited the Haverhill-Bath covered bridge yesterday to inspect the fire damage. The fire damaged approximately 190 feet of the waterline housing on the sidewalk. The damage to the structural portions of the bridge was very minor and included heavy soot on several members and slight charring of a few lattice members. The Town was very fortunate that they had detection measures in place and a fast response from the local fire company.
