There was a fire on the porch of the store adjacent to the ramp going to the fuel pumps. The fire was reported at 7 AM on Thursday. There was no sources of ignition (electrical, motors, etc) anywhere near the area of the fire. We could not figure how it started, so we had to figure that some person did it.. This morning, the State Fire Marshell investigated and, found the 'probable cause'.

Believe it or not, we are guessing that someone put out a cigarette in a planter box on the porch and that the soil caught fire and smoldered until the planter caught and took everything else with it. The agent proved this theory by taking soil from an adjacent planter out to the parking lot and igniting it! That potting soil has a lot of peat moss and is very dry from the winter and it began to glow red.

We are very forunate as the fire consumed the deck, rafters, and supports to within 28 inches of our primary fuel lines going to the fuel dock. That would have been horrific!

We will be open for business this weekend in spite of this. The WSFA reporter was here to cover the boat ban passage, knew my position on it, and made a suspected retribution issue out of it. Thanks to all who expressed concern and my apologies to anyone if they thought I was accusing them.
