    Terrible, just terrible.

    Makes you wonder at the sanity of some people. Even what start out as small "grass fires" can have serious consequences ...

    That's amazing. Presume it was rebuilt in wood?

    Very pleased that the bridge has been rebuilt, also noted that part of the report indicates that the suspect for the spate of arson attacks (about 18 incidents) is just 19yrs old, a firefighter and the son of the local mayor.

    The thought had crossed my mind ... They would probably still be planning to arrange the first pre-planning planning meeting :)
