About ten years ago, Willie Keeling was convicted of operating an illegal tire dump.

For years-- Roanoke County officials have worried that Willie Keelings property would catch fire.
Keeling has been amassing tires on his property for the past 30- years.
In 1997-- the Department of Environmental Quality declared the site a potential health hazard and the county requested Keeling clean up the dump or sell his property.
But Keeling's family was slow to act and back then felt the county was trying to run them out of business.

This fire may bring back memories for those who witnessed, and battled, a tire fire in Franklin County almost seven years ago.

[SUPER=03-Franklin Co./1995;]
It was in late July of 1995 when black smoke billowed from the Virginia Rubber Recycling Plant in Rocky Mount.
Firefighters were able to contain most of the blaze within several hours, but they needed several days to put the last tires out.
Some months later, an investigation determined wiring in a machine at the plant started the fire.

[SUPER=03-Salt Lake City, UT;]
The American Airlines flight was heading to St. Louis from Portland, Oregon, Saturday.
F-B-I officials say a child found a handwritten note in an armrest, claiming a bomb was on board.
The note appeared to be in child's handwriting and contained a spelling error. It had "bomb" spelled "boom."
Authorities didn't treat it as child's play, though.
The flight made an emergency landing in Salt Lake City, where bomb-sniffing dogs checked it out before passengers were allowed to reboard.
