Snow expected late Saturday; New Year's Day dry

DALTON: Power of the people

I would like to tell you about some Dalton people. Back in the ’60s, there was a house fire on the northwest corner of Davenport Street and Hanley Avenue. A pickup stopped. The driver asked me if anyone was in the house. I told him I didn’t know. A man, a woman and two kids lived there. Both doors were locked. He kicked in the back door, went in on his hands and knees, crawled around for about 10 minutes and came back out. He couldn’t find anyone. He was sick for a couple days from the smoke. After the fire was out, no one was found in the house. One dog died from the smoke.
