I went into town for usual errands yesterday A nice day with everything seeming fine I came home to news of the Red Jacket Resort on fire It is the largest historic resort in town, nearby The fire was huge, 20 departments from out of town responded People jumped from balconies to get out for their lives 3 people were injured, but thankfully not life threatening It was built from the start in the 1800’s, having new owners recently A luxurious place to visit with many things in the size of it It is on a hill where coverage showed smoke bellowing out The main road was shut down as 75 rooms were destroyed Today, I saw it with half of it gone, a bulldozer and media there For now, there is no cause determined, as people wait for answers Heidi Sands 5/1/22
