There had been rumors flying around town that it was a set since it was still going. I'm not implying that I think the owner did it, but I'm not an arson investigator. I'm just saying that when things like this happen, especially in a small city, arson is always the first thought, true or not.

Mary, if you were at the Laundromat and NOT on the scene, who are you to say what happened? Neither of the mats in town are across the street from that spot, but neither is very far either. I think the WFD and the WPD did a fantastic job those few days. That no one was injured as a result is a great testament to that.

And the fire was contained. The other buildings on the block had NO fire damage, just some water and smoke damage. That's not to say that their damage wasn't substantial, but there wasn't flames that caused it.

Kudos to the group of 6th grade girls who helped organize the drive for those who lost everything. Their parents should be extra proud to have raided such great girls.

Congrats! I hope that she does the job the teachers are looking for. It's time that someone who isn't going to hurt the schools is in power.
