Maybe that was where all the emergency response vehicles went!

This was near the intersection of Gayle Mill Drive and Odell Circle, Village of Mallory, about 4:30pm on Thursday.

Also, on the RadioReference web site they list a trauma situation requiring an air medivac around 4:45pm Thursday. This type of response would have required 2 fire engines and at least an ambulance.


So my best educated guess is what folks saw was actually emergency services responding to both emergencies that happened within minutes of each other.
Bump

I know, and remember to reset your weather radio and answering machine...some need to be reset, some not.

Thanks, Trish
Trish, to make Dorito Pie, put a layer of Nacho Cheese Doritos in the bottom of a 9x13 greased pan.
Brown a lb. of ground beef with a diced onion and a green pepper. Drain the grease off then add a big spoonful of taco seasoning, a can of Armour hot and Spicy chili w/ beans, a can of green chili's and about a cup of water. Stir and heat til it's good and hot, then pour over the Dorito layer. Spread a thin layer of salsa over the meat mixture, then top w/ shredded cheddar. Bake at 400º about 20 mins till the cheese is melted and bubbly. Yummy!

Also listed on the RadioReference web site was a garage/storage building fire in Oxford around 4:30 Thursday, so most likely Sumter County requested mutual aid from TV.
