Three area fire companies (Stewartsville, Alpha and Huntington) performed a walk-thru of the new Wal-Mart last night. This is necessary so the fire fighters can be familiar with the facilities in the event a fire call occurs there in the future. They look for hazards as well as automated sprinkler systems and fire department connections to name a few.

I wish I could show you more photos but Wal-Mart asked me not to post them due to corporate policy.

Word on the street is the store is scheduled to open near the end of the month.
