Keeping them fed
The Gold Pan Restaurant, which has remained open during the blaze to feed fire personnel, is serving bertween 80
to 200 meals per shift.
"I'm ready to put my feet up. Let me tell you," said Shaleigh Shanahan, 20, the manager.
The three member staff is working from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. in keeping with firefighters' shift changes.
Community donations have helped feed the firefighters but the owner, Barbara Aker, is paying the rest out of
pocket.
"They're here in our town. They're away from home and I'm here to take care of them," Aker said.
