Flame of Hope enters town center
It wasn't all bad news on the public safety department front yesterday.
The Western Massachusetts Law Enforcement Torch Run, a 3 mile jog from Amherst PD headquarters on Main Street to Kennedy Dorm Southwest area UMass, managed to step off at the scheduled start, 7:00 PM.
As they were running up Main Street, South Hadley Fire Department was arriving for a fire alarm at Johnny's Tavern just opposite Town Hall. All AFD personnel were busy fighting the major fire at Southpoint Apartments.
The Torch Run is a nationwide benefit to raise money for Special Olympics. This local event is doubly beneficial as the torch run culminates with the lighting of a cauldron to signal the start of the Summer Games.
Line up at APD headquarters

You might consider changing the headline of this post. It is rather jarring to scroll down after the apartment fire story.
