August Spot News Roundup



Athens Clarke firefighters walk back to their truck as they work to extinguish a brush fire behind Athens-Ben Epps along Beaverdam Road on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 in Athens, Ga. The fire broke out shortly before 3PM and spread quickly by the wind.

August was a so-so month spot news wise. We had UGAPD's bomb squad (who refused to be identified) and we had a few fires and an accident. Only the airport brush fire turned out to be much of anything visually. My thoughts go out to one of the airport employees who worked this fire who ended up hospitalized after it.

Generally a slow month with the only interesting things happening in the evening and overnight hours.

Thompson's Jeep Grand Cherokee was struck broadside by a Volkswagon Beetle after Thompson failed to yield right of way to the other driver. Thompson was taken to an area hospital.
