WEST FRANKFORT, IL – (William McPherson – West Frankfort Gazette. Please click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) – Sirens blazed as fire engines and other emergency vehicles descended upon West Frankfort City Hall last Friday. What was the occasion for such a grand display? A marriage proposal, of course. New West Frankfort Firefighter Matt Morthland proposed to his girlfriend, now fiancé, Taryn Ashli, who works at City Hall. “I was in shock. I had no idea,” Ashli added. “They pretended the building was on fire. I wasn’t scared. I was like, I don’t even see any flames, but they were telling me we had to leave the building.” Their response time for the call was under ten seconds, according to Mayor Tom Jordan and Chief Jody Allen.
