Yesterday a fire destroyed a house located across from Chaney High School on S. Hazelwood Avenue. 

Many west side residents may not know that No. 15 Fire Station, located about a half mile away on McCollum Road, has been closed several times this past week.  Posts on the Rocky Ridge Neighborhood Facebook show that people are very upset with the mayor's policy of closing the No.15 Fire Station.
