I'm curious; why didn't the ABJ report on the house fire that occurred in North Hill? 10 trucks went down Murray Ave. to Riverside, on Saturday night. I know they opened the hydrants, because my water turned red all night.

There are lots of runs and fires in the city that dont get reported. AFD goes on about 150 runs a day. Some are fires or accidents and some are medical calls.

Yes, wishing a fast recovery to one of our town's true heroes. Don't expect a Get Well card from The Don, though.
