Deeply sorry about whomever
Deeply sorry about whomever lost their home, but that is a great graphic.
I live on Devon Street and it
I live on Devon Street and it was unfortunate to witness the burning home and even watching the little children being displaced.
I have a daughter and she was very upset and shocked by the event. My house is close enough to the burnt house and we could have been greatly affected as well. My sympathy goes out to all parties affected by this tragedy.
