The mill is still smoldering. They hope to get it completely out today. We had a pretty strong storm this morning with heavy rain, hopefully this helped the firfighters out. They have done a womderful job. No houses were destroyed and they were just across the street from the mill. There has been firefighters from three states here fighting the blaze. We are still being advised to stay inside as much as possible, but the air quality is stable. We are so thankful for the job the firefighters have done here.
Great news Charlotte...after listnening to Obama I didn't think George Bush left us any firefighters. How about the schools in your area...do you have enough teachers to bother opening the doors this year? I can't possibly imagine a teacher having to handle 30 kids all by herself/himself/itsself.
Horace the school system in Trion is good. We have plent of teachers there and in Summerville. AS I wrote in an earlier post our church feed the teachers from the Trion system lunch on Wed. of work week. We had over 100 teachers today. Lots of them didn't come for one reason or the other. We have pretty good School systems here. Trion is city, then we have Chattooga County system. None of our children attended school here. They all graduated from Sylacauga High.
Horace, concerning the firefighters, we had over 50 units here from Ga. Tenn and Ala. fighting the fire. Hopefully it is out. Haven't heard anything about it today.
