A construction worker's vehicle was lost in a fire Monday morning west of the city.
Saline firefighters were dispatched to the 4500 block of Williamsburg on the River Road at 8:30 a.m. for a vehicle fire. Fire Chief Craig Hoeft said when firefighters arrived, the vehicle, a four-door sedan parked in the street, was fully involved. Firefighters put the blaze out, but the vehicle couldn't be saved.
"It was a total loss," Hoeft said.
Nobody was injured by the blaze.
The fire began in the engine compartment. The vehicle owner was on the job for about an hour before anyone noticed the fire.
In other news from the fire department, firefighters were dispatched for mutual aid to the 9900 block of Saline Waterworks Road when a hunter passed out while removing a tree stand. Firefighters used harnesses and ladders to extricate him from the tree stand located 16 feet in the air.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 88 and low of 61 degrees. Mist for the morning, sunny during the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
