Smoke Alarms save lives! A family of 4 was asleep this weekend when a BBQ smoker started a fire on the front porch of their home in the Cut N Shoot area.
Strong winds fanned the fire and just as smoke and flames breached the living room window, their smoke alarms sounded, giving the parents just enough time to wake their children and flee out the back door.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
