Burned Area Report Details Losses and Aftermath
Part of the burned area: Lemire Bros and other locals are identified as former Aronda men. Officials believe vaults in the Gvo banka destruction show contents intact. The town of Honan grew rapidly after being founded three years ago and now houses about 1,200. The Sterling hotel and nearby stores were destroyed, leaving a thriving but fragile business area.
