La Paz laid off their Code Inspector… Dumb move La Paz supervisors! Not only did the Code Inspector bring in much needed revenue for the county but needless fires would be prevented.
Shirley, it is North of Parker. The boundary for the town of Parker is only about 1 square mile.
To close together
Prayers to Don and Dana Richardson that all is well with you. Too close for comfort. Uncle Frank
Bean Pot appears to be prone to structure fires.
Thank you for every thing you guys did for my Auntie Jan. It was greatly appreciated
Samantha Anderson I already set up her gofund me account. I posted it on her Facebook so if any of her friends are able to donate it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for everything you guys did last night
I would do anything for her! She is truly one of my favorite people on this planet. Did you set up the go fund me page?
Ok I’m going to share it. I had a few people say they wanted to donate.
