Residents were frightened out of their wits Aug. 8 when a motor vehicle rollover on Horse Lake Road had Deka’s entire volunteer fire department either at the scene or on standby, in case a spark or gas or whatever started a fire.
Happily, this did not transpire and, after some four hours, residents breathed again.
