SALINE CO. —According to sources Galatia fire chief and board member David Grant carelessly announced over the radio that the fire was allowed to spread to the trailer in Galatia.
This was Galatia board member Rickey Cates’ way of clearing the vacant trailer from his property.
Sources also indicate that Cates had no intention of calling the fire in and had instructed Grant to let the fire burn. An attempt was not made to save the trailer, just to keep the fire from spreading.
Locals are growing increasingly aggravated with the village of Galatia and all of the “polotics” that go on there.
