Lightning Ignites Two Area Fires Damage Light
Fire Department records show two area fires in the past 10 days. One began about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday May 5 on a railroad spur trestle into the Morton Salt Company plant, burning a few Crossties. Fire Chief Perry Pugh suspects the blaze spread from a nearby grass fire. A second fire Sunday May 9 at 3:45 p.m. struck a breaker box in Mrs Vera Gipson’s Fruitvale home, burning the box but causing little other damage. Fire trucks from Fruitvale and Edgewood helped Grand Saline units in Fruitvale.
