Hey, I was reading this weeks paper and it stated that the fire in the antique shop on Temple Street was not caused by arson. It said that someone was burning insence in a flower pot and from what I gather a couple of them were burning and melted the flower pot causing alot of smoke and alarm. The Fire Dept responded because of all the fires that have occured recently, suspecting another arson. That's good new, right? Atleast we can strike one off the list.

If they see something more going on they will report it to the proper authorities and hopefully it will be taken care of.

You know ... if everyone reported the bad things going on, instead of "not getting involved", Hinton may just be a better place to live.

Would someone please tell me who everyone thinks
the fire bug is?
