In
the early morning of July 4, 1984, a fire swept through a three-story
rooming house above Davis Drug pharmacy located
at 434 Rantoul Street in Beverly, Massachusetts. The pre-dawn blaze took the lives of 15 people, which is considered the
highest death toll for arson in Massachusetts.
13 of the 36 residents at the Elliott Chambers rooming house died of burns or smoke inhalation when the fast-moving fire erupted. A 14th victim was killed when he jumped from a third-floor room trying to escape the flames. The 15th victim died
a few weeks later at a hospital.
The Elliott Chambers Fire Memorial was dedicated before a crowd of 100 people on July 1, 2010.
Donations are being accepted on this website to pay for the memorial in memory of those lost on July 4, 1984. Thank you.
