A church group was fixin' dinner Saturday afternoon at the Creston
Community Building, with the big Saturday Night Sing to follow. The events
got off kilter a little. Whilst setting up an abundance of fantastic food on
which to dine, someone noticed a telltale sign of fire.
A quick inspection of the outside of the building revealed a night light had
fallen from the structure, and a fire ignited the bone-dry siding from the heat
of a lamp. The Elizabeth-Wirt VFD was summoned and firefighters Holly
Parsons and Deputy Sheriff Lew Peck arrived first.
When the rest of the VFD came, a firemen cut the troublesome wires and
taped them. After the fire scare, the group had their dinner and Creston still
had its community building.
