An early morning fire in Poplarville destroyed an entire city block. Two businesses, the city's chamber of commerce office, and the Masonic Lodge on Main Street went up in flames Thursday morning. Firefighters from all over Pearl River county battled the blaze for hours before brining it under control. Fortunately, no one was injured.

An entire city block in Poplarville is like 1/3 of the city, isn't it? That's pretty scary stuff... and interesting timing considering the recent Katrina-related population boom there.

I am sorry to hear that they lost some of their buildings to fire. The area was home to both you and me for a long time.
