A Kennett firefighter works bravely Saturday night at the top of a ladder truck, spraying water onto a massive blaze which consumed a Rector pallet company at Main and West Fifth Streets. Kennett firemen and the department's ladder truck have provided assistance in fighting a number of Rector fires over the last few years. The monstrous fire required the work of six fire departments -- Rector, Piggott, Kennett, Marmaduke, Greenway and Northeast Greene County -- before it could be brought under control.
