Pocomoke Budget INN ... Fire

The Pocomoke Budget Inn is on fire, heavy fire and smoke. Other departments have been called in it must be a big one.

Girdletree, Stockton, Newchurch assisting

2 units were burning, no cause yet, but the fire is extinguished.. all in less then 1 hour from volunteers that have to drive to the VFD, get suited-up etc.



Another great job and exceptional results from all the local VFD's

They do not get thanked enough for what they do.



Thank you to all the VFD's

A comment worthy of a post.

From an anonymous poster;

I think it is about time that the citizens of Pocomoke and surrounding area take a stand to protect your wonderful fire fighters and law enforcement! I have never heard any complaints in my life about either unless it happened in their personal lives and that is seldom, very seldom, to none!

And while you are at it, take another look at Pocomoke itself. Don't you think it's about time you took a stand for the Mayor? That may be hard to understand but he is under attack in this situation too. The agenda that started out to find thugs that possibly murdered a girl has turned into a witch hunt for everyone in Pocomoke.

The mother of the missing girl and Billy Burke have not gotten the answers they want when they want them, it seems. In order to prove some point this so called investigator has been called in to investigate. She and her goons are not investigators!!!

My thoughts? I think law enforcement has finished their investigation and under the circumstances are not talking. Can't say I blame them.

Wake up Pocomoke. Do something. Don't let this smear the town. Don't let the rest of America think that your town is being driven by hoodlums in a fire department, cops that rule where ever they please and a city hall that spirts venom to its citizens.

If so much is wrong it would have been repaired long ago
not just because one person said so.

Let your fire dept. know, let city hall know, and let law enforcement know that you stand behind them and refuse to believe what blink says. The names of people you all know and love are posted on their website. Go there and read it for yourself.

Christine Sheddy; The Fires of Byrd Rd. who set these fires and why? Were these fires Investigated for arson?

Pocomoke City, MD– Christine Sheddy was murdered on the Byrd Rd Farm in Pocomoke City on the evening of November 12, 2007.

The series of events that led up to her murder are stupifying.

Of Particular concern is the rash of fires occuring on the farm and within surrounding areas in the time frame of both of Christine’s visits there.

As the September alarms are no longer accessible on the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Department Site, you are looking at a cached version confirming the call to the farm and the fact that photos DID exist of what was assuredly a major fire. Three different stations responded at a minimum. The Images have been deleted.

The day before the Byrd road chicken house fire on September 20th, the Showell Fire Department extinguished this chicken house fire:

919chickenhouse

Also a cached version of deleted information from the PVFD site, is this October Alarm Source, through October 23rd, 2007:

Effective October 1, 2007 the Worcester County Fire Marshalls Office takes over.

“..The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for conducting fire investigations of all fires in the County where arson is suspected, the fire is undetermined by the fire department, and/or an injury or death has occurred. The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is the local enforcing agency for 3 municipalities and the County…”

Note the October 10th alarm for yet again, a subsequent fire in the chickenhouse on Byrd Road.

On October 11, the neighbors who have already been vicitmized by the Clarence Butch “ Jr” Jackson crew, are victimized again. As you can see the Fire Marshall visits Byrd Road.

What the record does not say, is that the neighbors are awakened at 3 am by the Fire Marshall and Deputy Parnell from the PCPD. They were told if they called the Fire Department one more time for fires on the neighboring property, they would be arrested.

On the exact same day that JR Jackson unsuccessfully seeks peace orders against the neighbors that are simply trying to avoid the menace of his existance at this point are denied on October 13th; there is another chicken house fire. Fire Police and Pocomoke PD are in attendance.

Another outside fire call on October 17th. There is no data past October 23rd on fire activity available for this time frame.

The November calls have been deleted entirely by the Pocomake VFD. The site is managed and maintained by “Choppy Layton” a long time Vounteer Fire Fighter and by all accounts, a solid guy.

What is astounding, is that I am in receipt of an email that confirms a witness gave a statement to Detective Trautman, the original detective in this case, on February 12, 2008.

Should we consider it a coincidence then, that the last time the PVFD site is updated, and apparently when the November alarms were deleted is February 12, 2008?

We have eyewitness accounts of fires on the Byrd Road farmhouse from November 9th through the 13th at a minimum. Fire Police and Marshalls have been to the property. By my accounting, we are talking in the neighborhood of 12 fire alarms to this property alone, starting one month after an emergency outdoor burn ban.

Why hasn’t Clarence Jackson been charged with arson?

Any other suspects? Dead Issue? We know there are surveillance still pictures and security guard witnesses, what did they see?

What is the ratio of alarm calls versus arson arrests?

I digress.

Who was copied on the confirmation email containing a witness statement on February 12, 2008?

Pocomoke Fire department under Fire by a blogger

In the long events and stretched-out stories by BlinkOnCrime to use the murder of missing Christine Sheddy to assure attention and repeat readers the blinkoncrime website and author has gone too far.


For those that are not following along, the investigative ‘reporters’ team of blinkoncrime has not only brought forth terrible memories to a person that has more than paid their dues to society but has gone as for as to implicate the Pocomoke volunteer fire dept. in a scheme to cover for the murder of Christine Sheddy.


This is just an outrage and a vicious attack on the men and women of the PVFD


Here’s a direct quote From the blinkoncrime article titled;

“Is There a Fox in The Firehall?”


[quote]” Is that the reason that the searches on the property where the Pocomoke City FD were in attendance yielded nothing?”[quote]


Our VFD are men and women that will risk their lives to go into an inferno to save a kitten, that to me tells us of their instinct to do the ‘right thing’ they need not, nor do they deserve to be accused of a cover-up for “one of their own” by an outsider.


The blinkoncrime website goes on to say;

“It would seem finding her remains would yield heavy coverage.”


While it may do just that I can assure you that our fine men and women of the PCVFD could care less about “coverage” unlike the attention that obviously “investigative reporters” crave and will say anything to get that “coverage”


These are people that were volunteers at organized foot searches for Christine and wanted nothing more than to find Christine and bring closure to her family and justice to those involved. I just cannot get over the fact that this group of so-called ‘professionals’ could even bring themselves to insinuate that our VFD doctored reports and covered for “one of their own” it’s beyond comprehension, it’s a vile thing to insinuate.


I pray that Christine is recovered and have stood fast by this case for a long time but I won’t stand-by while our VFD and members are drug threw the mud.


I hope every fireman/woman contacts blinkoncrime and demands an open apology for this accusation. The blink team just spit on the most dedicated people in Pocomoke and in the end the people that could have helped the most.


EDITORS NOTE:

The people of Pocomoke are of an old fashioned, proud people.

This type of thing being put out, even if it is meant to get a reaction will only cause the people of Pocomoke to be tight lipped so the same does not happen to them, a friend, or a loved one.
