CHIMNEY FIRE FRIDAY EVENING The City of McCook Fire Department
responded to a reported chim-ney fire Friday evening, November 8th.
The initial call was paged out at 5:49 p.m. for a fire in the
chimney of a house located at 706 West 2nd Street. The fire
department responded and was on scene at 5:51 p.m. Initial arriving
fire crews reported heavy smoke coming from the front door and from
the eaves of the structure. Firefighters located a fire in the
basement of the home and initially attacked the fire from an
exterior window. Once the fire was knocked down, fire-fighters made
their way into the basement and extinguished the re-maining fire. A
fire investigator was requested from the State Fire Marshal’s
office and determined the fire had started between the floor of the
main level and the ceiling in the basement in the area of
fireplace. The fire caused approximately $35,000 damage to the
structure, and $90,000 to the contents. Fire Chief Harpham credits
the rapid response of the volunteer firefighters and off-duty
full-time staff along with the quick response of Red Willow Western
Rural Fire Department when requested. This allowed us to cover the
influx of calls received without a huge delay in getting all of
them answered quickly. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of
all involved, we were able to not miss a beat in our response.
VETERANS ARE APPRECIATED AT MPCC Veterans are appreciated at
Mid-Plains Community College. That was evident from the numerous
students, faculty and staff who came forward to sign cards for
veterans at campuses in McCook and North Platte on Monday. Tables
were set up on both the north and south campuses in North Platte as
well as in the Learning Commons in McCook. Those who stopped by
were treated to cookies and encour-aged to sign cards that will be
distributed to veterans in local nursing homes. “Our Military
Services committee at the college is involved in raising awareness
for resources available to our student veterans, forming
connections in our communities and recognizing our local vet-erans
through a variety of events, including POW-MIA Day ceremo-nies,
Veteran’s Day thank you card signings and free admission to
veterans at MCC and NPCC sporting events,” said Bobbi Muehlenk-amp,
area director of the Learning Commons. “We are always look-ing for
more members and are especially interested in recruiting stu-dent
members.”
PROMOTING NE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts
is leading a trade mission to Germany to promote Nebraska
agricultural products and reinforce the state's connections with
German companies. Ricketts kicked off the trade mission Sunday in
Berlin, where the delegation met with government officials and
hosted a reception for University of Nebraska alumni, business
officials and others. The trade mission also included a new trade
agreement between Chapman, Nebraska-based Preferred Popcorn and the
German-based Haase Foods. Nebraska is the na-tion's largest popcorn
producers, generating more than 353 million pounds annually. The
delegation includes representatives from the Nebraska Departments
of Economic Development; Agriculture; and Environment and Energy;
and the University of Nebraska, Nebraska Farm Bureau, Omaha Public
Power District and other private groups.
