A fire from the Saturday evening warehouse destroyed four freedom companies, leaving the owners devastated but determined to rebuild. The Liberty Fire Service received the call shortly after 9 p.m., the flames have already shot the roof by the moment the crews arrived, according to firefighters Chris Young. We could have saved more than we could, “said Young. One of the lost companies was D&M Doors, belonging to Don Border. Border on Sunday was seen choosing the remains of his 25 -year -old business. “I see small pieces of things that I forgot that I had,” said Border, fighting emotion. Forder, who also works as a firefighter in independence, said that the experience of losing his own fiery business has given him a new perspective. “It’s just strange to be on the other side,” he said. “Now, I can also say,” I know what you are going through “, because I know what they are going through.” Border works to secure a new space and buy a truck in the hope of avoiding any interruption of service for its customers. “If I sit and think about it for too long, it will reach me,” he said. “So, if I take care and try to put everything back in place, it will keep my mind.” The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
