Fruitland Fire Company had a busy night.... Just before this fire was an accident on corner of Hayward Ave and Route 13. Car hit telephone pole and burst into flames. There was 850 of us without power for almost 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteWithout power for 3 hours? Wait till the $hit hits the fan , 3 years would be my prediction.
ReplyDeleteAs in many of the recent house fires, what's the point of having a smoke alarm if you don't change the battery?
