Smoke rose Saturday from the Lowe’s parking lot, but the Hall County fire department was already on the scene. Firefighters held a benefit cookout for three injured Hall County firefighters hurt last month in a training exercise. TJ Elliott, Will Griffin and Stephen Jackson were taken to the hospital July 22 after falling 44 feet in a ladder truck’s bucket.
