Your posted story has many falsities in it.

I just read the copy at Jeff Rense's 'Sightings' site. I have been using my internet connection almost non-stop since Friday, without interruption, and I live only fifteen miles from Elizabethton!

The Kingsport fire and rescue folks have been on scene since Friday, helping to feed and make comfortable the people working the warehouse fire.

Our local TV station has had people making tape coverage from inside from the very beginning ...

inside as in the warehouses being emptied of pool chemical and other commercial products stored there.

A fish kill of 700 fish has been documented in the Watauga River.

The Elizabethton City Water Dept has been having trouble with their system since last summer, with many leaks and reduced out put during all that time. The fire depts working the site are drawing water from the Watauga into their pumping trucks for use on the fire.

Military equipment has been brought from the local reserves sites to allow places for firefighters to rest.

So far no one has been killed and the only casualties have been fire personnel with cuts or bruises and two sprained ankles.

If you're gonna report a story, for God sakes get it right, you dolts!
