MBA architect Jon Long reported to the Board of Education on Monday that the problems are being addressed by the contractor, H.G. Reynolds, at that company’s exclusive cost.
Fire crews from Mitchiner’s Grove, Franklinton and Louisburg responded to this fire, right, on Monday afternoon. Apparently, someone was burning trash or brush or a combination of the two and winds swept the fire away and burned this house, which sits a few houses away from Mitchiner’s Grove Baptist Church just off N.C. 56 between Louisburg and Franklinton. No one was inside the home when the fire started, and it appeared that no one lived there. Mitchiner’s Fire Capt. Jim Pearce said firefighters worked through the evening to put out hot spots. The fire did not rekindle or spread to any other structure or brush. The burning ban has been lifted and the brush fire was not in violation. No charges are expected to be filed.
