Fire starter still a mystery Those whose property was damaged react By LISA SIMPSON STRANGEGlasgow Daily Times On the other end of the shopping center at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, assistant manager Elaine Ekhardt said a couch, which was set on fire earlier on the same evening as the car, was left out in front of the store as a giveaway. Instead, the perpetrator(s) dragged the piece of used furniture halfway down the sidewalk of the shopping center and set it on fire in front of an empty store front adjacent to Hatchett Home Medical Equipment.
“We had set it out for free for someone to take and use,” she said. A storage building behind the old E.B. Terry Elementary School at 317 Columbia Ave., which is now owned by Calvary Baptist Church, was set ablaze about 3:30 a.m. Friday. Both Becky Austin, church secretary, and Dave Cash, associate pastor, said there was nothing of much value in the structure and the church wasn’t using it. The desks, computers and other miscellaneous items stored there were left over from when the church took over the school property, they said. The building was not insured and the church has no plans to replace it. At the same time firefighters were trying to extinguish the blaze in the building at the back of the school, another fire was set in a structure at 301 Ford Drive next to the House of Praise Church. That building burned to the foundation and was a total loss. Fire chief Bobby Bunnell said the department is still trying to determine who owns the property. The last fire was reported at 4:30 a.m. the same morning in a trash bin behind Houchens Market at 425 Happy Valley. It was contained to the bin and was quickly extinguished by firefighters.
