The Houston County Fire Department's McKinnon station burned down last week. The cause is unknown and fortunately nobody was injured. Oddly, the article in the Stewart-Houston Times doesn't pay so much as a nod to the irony of a fire station catching fire. From The Stewart-Houston Times:
According to Houston County Fire Chief David Hardin, one of trucks was a 2,000-gallon tanker bought by the county for $20,000 last year, and the other was a 1972 utility vehicle that was in good working condition…
Between the trucks and the sheet metal building, Hardin valued the McKinnon destruction at more than $100,000.
