HOMETOWN MEMPHIS: APRIL 27, 2009

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE...THERE'S

FIRE!
04.27.2009
Memphis, TN

Two houses started with fires around 2:30 a.m. this morning which had the Memphis Fire Departments working the blazes. A house fire inferno destroyed a home on Rainer Street in South Memphis but; the motive seemed to be arson. Another home caught fire, while the family was away by a suspious person who was seen running away after throwing a firebomb inside the home on Goodlet Street in East Memphis. No injuries or fatalities, just plenty of fire damages. It appears that of both the fires were intentionally set. Fire invesigators were researching for clues in causes of both the house fires.

"While that smoke clears; there's another trial of fires stirring up."

SHE RAN OVER THE FIREMEN !

Memphis, TN

Trials will began today in a case of a woman who caused an accident in November 2007. The woman, Dolly Cox is accused of drinking and driving and running over two firemen who parked their motocyles along the side of the highway. She ran over them killing Fireman, Jamill Williams then seriously injuring Fireman, Eddie Roan. Report states that Dolly Cox was totally fired up with drunk driving! Cox has been free since the accidents and now will face trial for injury and manslaughter while driving under the influence. Since the accident, Ms. Cox has still been permitted to drive, and her drinking has been closely monitered.

That's a 2 alarm fire!....maybe this will make those who drink too much put down the bottle of fire water! I'm not joking!

Since the smoke is still around; fire also lies in a fiery tongue..

Where are you taking us with next the story MIISRAEL?

WHERE THE FIRE LIES
04.24.2009
Collierville-Arlington

A seventeen year old took a fire ride with his friends which took them to a accident that destoryed his SUV. When the sheriff arrived, the 17 year old told deptuies that he was hit in the face and was abducted and carjacked by two men, who took his cell phone and a white 1999 Toyota 4-runner, wrecking the car and leaving him there. That 's when the fire of his tongue made up the lies. The whole story of the carjacking was a fraud! While fireballing with his friends, he actually lost control of the vehicle and it rolled over several times and caught fire! His friends fired away leaving him on the scene alone.



The teen really told the fiery lies to keep avoid trouble with his parents, but finally admitted he made up the carjacking story. Facing the fires, he has been charged with filing a false police report. Sheriff Steve Shuller, stated " The truth hurts, but it's going to hurt a lot more for the young man now that he's facing a charge."

OUCH! Sizzling.. I think he got burned...

BURNING RUBBER THEY FIRED ON THEM!
04.29.2009
Memphis, TN

While a group of people stood outside the Lauderdale Oaks Apartments, someone burned rubber and fired an automatic weapon into the crowd. The fire bullets were spread everywhere and so were the people! Witnessness say that the car approached and a man with the weapon fired into the crowd and sped away burning rubber! Fortunately, no one was killed, but one man was reported injured but not seriously.

Now, what was those fires all about?

I haven't a burning clue!

You didn't make the number ONE FIRE?

Nope.

National News

Memphis is named number two in one of the most dangerous places to live. This report is the result of a Forbes magazine. Forbes makes Memphis number two because of it's murder, break-ins and drive-by shootings. Although recent report indicates a 15% drop in violent crimes. Forbes shot the fire we're still number two! I live in Memphis, and I know we are number one is trying to work out ways to curve our violent city. Recent marches against crimes, and actions of cleaning up our neighborhoods are already in effect. All cities are facing some incident of crimes, people are ones who need make changes in order to change the town. Memphis, let's keep trying. Our goals are not all burned up in the fires!
