Saturday, September 24, 2011 At the request of the owner, the MFD staged a practice burn today of a disused barn in the Rose Hill area. Engines #1 and #2 were deployed to monitor the burn. As the fire took hold of their Woodpile home Mr. and Mrs. Rock E. Raccoon were seen to run from the blaze. They escaped wearing only the furs that they had on at the time. Though their home was a total loss they have now taken up residence in a nearby hedge row and are recovering well.
