*They arrested 2 Juveniles today based on info gained from anonymous tips
*Residents were allowed in today to inspect their property but have to be out of town by 10PM
*Town will open to visitors and businesses open Friday
*There are lots of people complaining about the way red cross is handling donations.
They are turning away things and want cash only.
One woman drove from Georgia with a pickup truck load of disposable diapers and other things needed for infants. Red cross told her they did not need them. Only when workers saw her leaving and flagged her down and sent her to one of the shelters where those things were desperately needed.
* There have been a people caught pretending to be homeless due to the fire trying to get help.
* If anyone wants to donate anything, the local animal shelter said they would take anything even opened bags of food that peoples animals would not eat. There are also several Volunteer Fire Departments from all over the area that used a large part of their budget and would welcome any donations. If anyone wants I will give addresses or phone numbers to the departments please do not give to the Red Cross because only a small part of what they are taking in is being actually used locally.
