Milton Flea Market...

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Nobody hurt.
Apparently Ona lost a fire truck parked too close to building, then wouldn't start.
Most of the place has burned to the ground.
Apparently the free-standing shed type structures survived. The ones with no walls.
H-D says no insurance.
WSAZ has a camera streaming video on web.
Can't see much as the camera is blocked from the southern end by a tree.
Economic calamity for Milton. Old folks home has next most visitors there.

It was a miracle that did not happen on a weekend when that place was packed with people.

Ona fire truck damaged, not destroyed.
Damn thing wouldn't start or something when fire got close.
Scorched, was towed away.
Satellite views show the destroyed part as an "E" with a "7" attached.
I assume the "E" is for Earnhardt, no idea about the "7".
