As many residents have probably seen or heard one of our downtown buildings caught on fire this morning. We were paged out a little after 4 this morning & were on scene til 10am & we are finally leaving the barn after equipment restock & cleanup........ we want to take a min to thank our local Love's Travel Stop for giving us all the drinks we could need (we had every intention of paying but they would not let us), thanks to our sheriff's deputy for launching & utilizing their drone while we were trying to knock down some of the fire to prevent spread before we could have any of our guys get ours out, thanks to our city manager & water dept for making sure the water towers stayed filled up, our police officer & ems for being there in the event they were needed, Main street café for cooking our crazy order of breakfast burritos this morning & throwing in some extras to make sure we were set, & of course the lineman from pso that came to disconnect the sparking power line for us......... but most of all we are extremely grateful the bldg was not currently in operation, that no one was inside, and that we were able to prevent it from spreading more than it did.......... We currently have caution tape up please stay away from the bldg for your own safety, it is private property please be respectful of the owner, as this is alot to take in no one ever expects something like this, stay away from their bldg, again thank you for all of your support & encouragement it does not go unnoticed 🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
