’ When asked about coun-
cilmembers’ concern over
the routing of residents to
Highway 146, past the
Placid refinery, Lott said
he wasn’t responsive for
there being only one route
out of the subdivision.
Lott emphasized,
however, that deputies did
not force ’■‘residents to
evacuate, their purpose
was to tell them of the situa-
tion.
Chief Reedy told The Sun
he assisted sheriff’s
deputies in alerting citizens
but said he was under the
impression at thdtime that
Mayor Miller had ordered
he ar-
rived at the scene
sheriff’s deputy was talking
okayed the deputies' ac-
tions.
Reedy had no response
about whether sheriff’s
deputies actually ordered
people out of the area or
merely informed them of
the explosion.
