I know it's late but since I probably won't be sleeping for a while and since I kinda need to relax a bit from what I just saw, I'm posting here (Way after anyone should be asleep). It's 4:29 AM right now and fire trucks have been outside our windows for about 2 hours and 9 minutes. One of the neighboring houses caught fire, in one of the bedrooms spreading a bit to the roof and a tree. Thanks to the quick actions of the crews of Ladder 80, Engine 46, and Truck 95 and the rest of the fire department and police department; the fire was put out relatively fast. Thankfully the father, son and dog got out safely, and no one else was in the house, but it's still a real tragedy. We're all going to have together as a community after this. For now I have to log off before mother taks my laptop; but sleep is still not coming anytime soon.
