K. Ross Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 'We are now at hour 6 of the Mill Fire going on in Kimberly. Currently as you can see from our aerial coverage brought to you by our News 9 Chopper the entire mill seems to be on fire and it doesn't look like anything can be saved. As you know the Lumber Mill in Kimberly is the last mill in that town and this will most definitely be a devastating loss for the town. Two volunteer fire fighters are currently down and we have some reports that Shiloh County Fire is taking over control of the fire over Kimberly. At this point we can only hope that those 2 firefighters will be alright.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K. Ross Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 'Now hour 12 of the mill fire and it is gone. The two fighter fighters that were down have been rescued but their conditions is unknown at this time. Though some fire still remains burning at the scene it is controlled and will be out soon. What was once the last mill in Kimberly is now charred in ruin. It is a devastating loss for the community and with the incident now behind us all that's ahead of us is questions. Questions we do not have answers for at this time but questions that will be asked nonetheless. Questions like: Could this have been avoided? Who is responsible? Can this happen again?'
