Accomack County Fires.......

The fires that have seemed to plagued the Accomack County emergency personnel from all branches along with the residents of the county have seemed to cease.  At least for now.

The last fire (according to my notes) was December 24 in a barn situated on a farm in Bloxom.

Bloxom, Parksley, Tasley, Atlantic, Onancock and Saxis were all dispatched to the scene.  It took approximately two hours to control the fire on this Christmas Eve night.

There have been many nights when so many of our volunteers, police officers, investigators, etc. have been called to duty.  As insane as fires such as these are it is their duty to serve us- the residents.

Please remember to say thanks.  Their job is not always an easy job and very seldom does it come with any great benefits.  And if possible make a New Year's Resolution to support the fire department in your area in any way you can.  Pay it forward........

And since there has been no recent word from investigating parties I remind you that
anyone with information about the fires or people or vehicles seen near the destroyed structures PLEASE call:

Virginia State Police at 800-582-8350 or 757-424-6820 or the Accomack County Sheriff's Office at 757-787-1131.

As soon as I receive any word concerning this investigation I will pass it along.
