How is the family doing ? Any word on the cause ?
They're doing ok thank you for asking. The house has been demolished but we haven't gotten any word about the cause yet, We're hoping to find out something just to know how it happened. Most important thank God my nephew woke up and saw the fire outside so they could all get out. I was inside a number of times and I would say there wasn't a room that wasn't touched by fire. I got the FD incident report and just looking at it, the first due units had their hands full not only with the fire but exposure issues on both sides. B23 called for the 2nd alarm as soon as they arrived. I appreciate you asking its been a tough year.
