The Cut Fire Fund

On Monday afternoon, July 11th, the home at 4 Mann Street in Hingham, Massachusetts, burned to the ground. Nothing remained but a 130-year-old charred chimney standing sentry over the rubble.

Pat and Haley Cutter had moved into their newly purchased dream home a mere two weeks prior to this disaster. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but their young son stood witness, with his nanny, while their home and their belongings went up in flames within minutes.

Pat and Haley have been respected fixtures in Boston’s real estate family for years. Their careers touched countless firms and supported many of Boston’s most iconic developments. All who know them are devastated at the thought of this loss. Although furnishings can be replaced, losing all their life-long possessions is heart-wrenching.

The fire was catastrophic for their neighborhood, requiring the fire departments from ten towns to battle for hours, trying to save all the adjacent homes. Five others were severely damaged, and an additional home was also a total loss.

In honor of, and as a tribute to the family, we have established The Cut Fire Fund, to provide a vehicle for all those who know them, to pay our respect, share their pain and provide our support in their time of need. Indicative of the Cutter’s generosity and kindness, they have requested that any funds collected through this effort be donated to all of the First Responders; the Fire Departments of the ten towns: Hingham, Hull, Cohasset, Scituate, Norwell, Hanover, Rockland, Weymouth, Braintree and Quincy; Chiefs from Brockton, Whitman, and Abington who covered the other stations; the Hingham police who supported the firefighters; and the South Shore Hospital ambulance team that was on hand as well. It was an extraordinary collective effort.

We urge you to support this heartfelt gift and acknowledge the Cutters in the process. Please share this link with anyone you know – the cause speaks for itself.
