Ok, wkrg, you said previously there was a “crew on the way to the scene”, but as of yet, 11:54pm 3-20-09, there is no update on your site. I have traveled from Mobile thru that area and it only takes me 45 minutes to get all the way to Atmore, the area that was burning is at mile marker 45, Atmore is at mile marker 57, so where is your “updated report”?? I expected you to have much more info, and video if you “actually” sent a crew to the area.
