Bless those men and women
Bless those men and women having to fight a fire like that while everyone is getting cozy/sleeping off their two extra whiskeys. You never know when a tragedy strikes. I hope that the displaced are able to put their lives back together soon.

Wish I wasn't out of town so I could help these folks out. If someone knows of something being set up to help these folks, please post here. Merry Christmas and God bless.
