FIRE AT STONECASTLE

Most of you know that we own a recycling business called "STONE CASTLE RECYCLING" anyway on Saturday July 13, 2008 it caught on fire. The fire burned everything we had in the yard plus it destroyed 4 of our work trucks, 2 of our box trucks and 2 service trucks. The fire was stopped before it got to our building so that is a good thing and no one was hurt and no business next to us were damaged. I just thought i would post some pictures that i took on Monday. I just want to thanks to the StrongS, Rhoades, Walls and the Mckays who have helped us during all of this. On Sunday after church Tony went by the shop to check it again and the fire had started up again the fire department was there again and he came home to grab some hoses and sprinklers like the fire department told him to and Jeremy, Jason, Brandon and our boys went back up there with him to help keep the fire out. Tige Rhoades came by on Sunday and told Tony he could borrow his bobcat and no charge and he even delivered it to him on Monday morning plus he called and got a dumpster delivered for us to help with the clean up! Jeremy Strong told us on Sunday nite that he was taking two days off work to help us with the clean up. Thanks so much to all of our friends for being that just GREAT FRIENDS! thanks again!
