Carris Reels Fire
Around 8:15 PM tonight multiple explosions could be heard and in the skies you could see eerie blue green flashes lighting everything up. Carris Reels one of the areas largest employers had caught fire. Turns out the maintenance department which housed various trucks, acetylene tanks and many other chemical supplies caught fire causing a chain reaction of small explosions that lasted for around an hour causing alarm to citizens who live close by yet others in the area knew nothing of the event. Directly after seeing the first few explosions I called 911 who reported that they had just dispatched to the location. A few calls were made shortly after that to various other people in the community to ask that they pray for those in the building and the fire and safety workers. Rutland has been well know for very large fires in the past so this is surely nothing new but despite earlier reports of a fatality it has been confirmed that there were no injuries. All the workers that were on shift were evacuated successfully.
