About 15 families were displaced by fire at an Orange Park apartment complex Thursday, authorities said.

A woman was burned and suffered other injuries when she apparently jumped from the second floor of her building at the Kings Tree complex in the 1800 block of Kingsley Avenue, said Batallion Chief Fred McCutcheon of Clay County Fire and Rescue. He said a preliminary investigation indicates a cooking fire in the woman’s apartment started the blaze.

Fire destroyed two second floor apartments and six others were damaged by smoke and water, he said. Firefighters were mopping up about 10:30 p.m. Thursday. The fire was reported just before 6:30 p.m.

An article from the San Francisco Gate has been making its way (several times over) through my inbox the past few days. The scandal: Nathan Winograd, former director of operations for the San Francisco SPCA, and his new book, "Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No-Kill Revolution in America".

At first take, it may seem Winograd is akin to those who say that the Holocaust never happened or that the Earth's population isn't booming. That's not the case.

Winograd isn't denying that there is a crisis in America's shelters, but in fact shifting the perspective - and the mantle of blame - from the notion of 'too few homes for shelter animals' to the very staff of these shelters, saying "If a community is still killing the majority of shelter animals, it is because the local ... shelter has fundamentally failed in its mission."

Quigley House will hold its Annual Meeting at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27. The event will take place at the Orange Park Woman’s Club, 130 Kingsley Ave. in Orange Park.

The public is invited to attend what executive director Sharon Youngerman describes as “the state of the union” meeting. She will install new officers, discuss what the shelter has accomplished in the last year and where they hope to be next year.

The comprehensive domestic violence and sexual assault shelter has received some press lately for its addition of an on-site kennel, making it the second in the state and one of few in the nation to provide facilities for abused women’s pets. Animals often bear the brunt of abuse after a victim leaves.

The search for Austin Davis, the 26-year-old Argyle man who has been missing for about seven weeks, will continue in High Springs tomorrow, Sunday August 12. The search is prompted by reports of Davis sightings in the area, according to his family.

Anyone wishing to volunteer any amount of time is asked to join in the hunt for Austin. He is Caucasian, 5' 8" weighing 160-180 pounds, with dark brown hair, blue eyes, dimples and a scar on his right cheek. He disappeared without notice on June 26, 2007, and did not take any belongings with him.

There will be a 'command post'/meeting area at the Winn-Dixie, located at 1080 NW Santa Fe Blvd. off 441. Law enforcement agencies will be on the scene to assist in the search, which the family expects to last until dark. Any time you can spare to help would be useful.
