A
fire Wednesday afternoon at the Ardagh Glass Plant, aka Lincoln
bottle factory, was controlled quickly by local firefighters.
Lincoln, Lincoln Rural, Mount Pulaski and Atlanta Fire Departments
were on the scene along with the Logan County Paramedics and Logan
EMA. Mutual Aid fire equipment was also brought from Springfield to
help clear the smoke from the building.
According to Lincoln Fire Chief Bob Dunovsky the fire started due to
work being done inside the building by a construction/demolition
crew. The crew attempted to extinguish the fire, but it quickly got
out of hand, so they called for help.
The fire was contained to a specific area and extinguished in less
than 90 minutes.
Ardagh closed in April of 2019 and has stood idle since.

On
Wednesday morning, Lincoln Daily News made a surprise visit to Judy
Busby and Bill Gossett at the WLCN radio station right before they
went on air with their talk show "Viewpoint." The purpose of the
visit was to recognize the two as the August LDN Community
Champions. Each received a lovely planter donated by Debbie's
Downtown Floral, and the traveling trophy will be on display at the
radio station for the next week.
Congratulations to both. In their lifetimes, they have positively
impacted many people, not only through their show but also in their
daily lives.
