Two Alarm Fire Destroys Exotic Vehicle Overnight

Fire Department saves over $1million in vehicles in fire

An exotic vehicle was destroyed and one was slightly damaged early today when a second-alarm fire broke out at a 7,000-square-foot commercial building in Palm Desert, the Riverside County Fire Department reported.

The fire in the 42100 block of Beacon Hill was reported at 1:13 a.m.,
said department spokeswoman Melody Hendrickson.

The fire was knocked down around 1:40 a.m., she said. Damage was
estimated at $50,000 for the two cars while eight to 10 other exotic cars
valued at around $1.2 million were saved, she said.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

We'll need the New California Department of Motor Vehicles now that the State of California is on a Democratic Party pathway to allowing Illegal Aliens Driver Licenses. You won't hear this from CA State Assemblyman Brian Nestande 760-674-0164. What's confusing to this Taxpayer and Constituent, is how the State of California says we have no Money so Taxes must be raised but continues to Spend! Good job Assemblyman Nestande. Enjoy that per diem meal we Taxpayers get to pick up the Tab on. God knows you've earned it.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.
