The Eastpoint families who lost everything three weeks ago in the Limerock Wildfire are still waiting for travel trailers to use as temporary housing. Franklin County Sheriff A.J. Smith says the county isn't allowing him to give out the trailers until property owners have elevation certificates for the land. In order to get this certificate, a land surveyor needs to come and approve it. Twenty-four trailers are sitting at the sheriff's office and were supposed to be given to the families today. However, many, like Jimmy Boone, say they don't have money for this permit. Boone lost his home of 40 years. He's been sitting under a canopy tent where his house was 3 weeks ago.
