The firemen answered a call Friday at 8:05 p.m. to the Mt. Pleasant Christian Church where a car was on fire in the church parking lot. The 1960 Oldsmobile owned by David Kent of Greenwood route four sustained approximately $50 in damages, according to firemen. On Sunday, the firemen were called to Smith Valley Road, east of the railroad tracks, where a 1962 Chevrolet pick-up truck was on fire. The truck owned by Doug McGill, El Paso, Texas, was damaged an estimated $50.
