Greetings from Dache on this Thursday afternoon. We have had a wonderful 2 weeks, and he heads back to Arlington on Saturday. Here are some “goings on” this week.
House Fire On Green Hill
We extend our prayers and best wishes to the Lenny Collins family. Apparently lightning struck their home at 116 Grandfather View and there was a sizeable fire. We had a significant electrical storm yesterday around 6:00 PM. We want to thank the valiant effort of BRFD and the crews that were fighting the fire on sight last night. Thank you for your continued service.
