Warsaw Fire Department members honored 33-year veteran Gene Fancil with a retirement party recently at the Pizza Hut restaurant while a summer rain storm raged outside.

So, while, the firefighters and their guests celebrated, the liquid element made an unexpected appearance, causing some flooding in the restaurant - just to say good-bye, Gene.

The wind accompanied a thunderstorm which swept the northern section of the county yesterday afternoon about 1:00 o'clock.[[In-content Ad]]
