Shady Oaks in the news again

At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning a fire occurred at Shady Oaks Estates in West Blocton.  A mobile home sitting on lot #18 was destroyed, though Greenpond Fire Department were able to keep the fire from spreading to adjacent properties.  The fire has recently been ruled undetermined and State Fire Investigators have determined the investigation to not have priority over other fires, and therefore are not investigating the cause.
Shady Oaks has been in the local news multiple times since a November investigation uncovered potential violation of tenant rights by property owner Ricky Shaw.  Residents have gone on record with statements regarding a what they feel is negligence which resulted in this fire.  Ricky Shaw was contacted by the Centreville Press but refused to comment on any aspect of the story.  
A full investigation by your local news source is underway and a full length story will be featured in the March 3rd edition of the Centreville Press.
