THANK YOU
A special thanks to the De Leon Volunteer Fire
Department for their quick response and in fighting
of the fire at our business, Burnett Automotive, on
the night of January 3.
Your dedication and expertise surely was a big
factor, or damages sustained would have been much
greater.
Until you personally are faced with fire of this
nature, it’s hard to appreciate a fire department like
De Leon’s.
Also, thanks go to the Gorman and Rising Star
firemen for assisting in the control of the Mazo.
