On Sept. 20, the City of Boynton Beach, Fla., called Palm Beach County (Fla.) Fire Rescue for assistance at the scene of a small but stubborn fire at the Bedding Barn, located at 3101 Boynton Beach Blvd. The fire apparently started in the interior roof area when an electric sign attached to the east side of the building shorted out. Although the fire was small, it was in an inaccessible area. Fire Medic Bob Rathfelder and Lt. Dennis Peek had to cut access holes from the outside to get to the seat of the fire.
