The Monticello Fire Dept. had a hectic evening, Friday, battling 3 fires, between 6 – 8:30 pm.

Around 6 pm, the former furniture store at the intersecti0n of Edwards and Gaines sustained minor damage, due to a fire inside.

As the firefighters were rolling up their hoses, a Ford Bronco II on the Walmart parking lot was reported, ablaze.  They quickly arrived and extinguished the flames.

Shortly after 8 pm, a residence in Western Pine called Monticello Dispatch, reporting a dryer fire, where damage was contained to that area, only.

That dryer fire was the MFD’s third time in under 3 hours.
