16 communities battling the blaze. Red Cross on their way from the 'Big City' with doughnuts and coffee. Thus far, no one hurt.

Local businesses donate coffee, doughnuts and SubWay sandwiches for the boys in turn out coats.

Thank goodness nobody was hurt. Four old buildings were burned then razed. I think the still standing grocery store that abuts one of the razed buildings opened for business again on Saturday. Every Fire department in the county turned out, as well as a larger community that had the tall water cannons.

Local restaurants and the Salvation Army donated sandwiches and such to keep the fire fighters going during the blaze.
