Fire in Manchester

At 5 p.m. firefighters are battling a three-alarm fire at a row house in the 1100-block of Liverpool Street in Manchester. The humid air hampered visibility as smoke from the two burning homes kept low to the ground. The two-story brick homes appeared to be abandoned and are next to other vacant homes that are being torn down.

No information on the cause of the fire had been determined at this time.

Furries!

They have returned

THIS JUST IN: State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, has announced that the Immigration and Naturalization Service and Local Religious Police are checking into the Furries' immigration status ("Real 'merkins ain't fuzzy," he says) and spiritual belief systems ("I was told that a guy in a bear outfit might be a Buddhist," he adds).
