Firefighters are battling a blaze that's feeding on more than 100 acres of trees and brush atop Afton Mountain.
Crews evacuated more than 20 homes earlier today.
Firefighters were able to save all the homes and everyone has returned home.
Forest Service officials say a recent ice storm broke many trees in half, leaving them on the forest floor-
Those branches are now feeding the fire and creating problems for firefighters.

The budget does not include what the President wants for schools, child care and health.

This particular laser is directed at the pigment in the hair- so it works best on darker hair which has more melanin.
The procedure is faster than electrolysis- instead of zapping one hair at a time- it can reach ten times that amount.

800 dollars for your back for the first visit- 600 for the second visit and 400 for the third.

In St. Louis yesterday, Mark McGwire continued his torrid pace at the plate as he followed up Tuesday's grand slam with a game winning three run homer in the bottom of the 12th yesterday as the Cards beat the Dodgers 8-to-5.
McGwire was also awesome with his glove. Check out the unassisted double play at first base as he doubles up the runner.

Our video of the day fits that.
Tyree Giten brought his own style of art to Detroit- with shoes, dolls, toys, car hoods- even vacumn cleaners.
He says it's better than looking at vacant lots and crack houses.

The display brought tourists to look- so at first Tyree was applauded.
Now neighbors want Tyree's work OUT- City council says it must go by August.
