WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Yes, it's gone, we got the 911 call first thing this morning. It was fully involved when we got on scene. Despite our best efforts it was on the ground an hour later. We saved the little motel next to it and nobody was injured. Our town just won't be the same without it!!

AZbowhntr Report post Posted January 13, 2010 That is too bad. I talked to a friends wife of mine last night that lives there and as of last night they still didn't know exactly what happened but it looked like it started right in the middle. He was still at the debrief (or Merle's). Can you imagine if the propane tank would have gone up. I know they evacuated the school. I sure hope they can rebuild and soon. For the owners and the people that worked there. It's not like jobs grow on trees up there. Boy are there some memories from that place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
