FIRE DESTROYS SHOP ~ Firefighters work to extinguish a blaze that destroyed the main building at Franks Body Shop, located at 2113 Highway 63B in Hoxie, Monday night. The fire was reported at 9:15 p.m., and Hoxie, Walnut Ridge, Portia and Sedgwick fire departments responded. The office portion of the building was saved, but the shop and seven vehicles that were inside it were a total loss. Owner Kenny Franks said he does plan to rebuild, and the body shop will remain open operating out of other buildings at the same location, as well as Franks Glass Shop in Walnut Ridge.
