The firefighters and police officers worked together efficiently to keep everyone safe. EMTs on site were compassionate and ready to assist the family. The firefighters deserve a special applaud for all of their genuine efforts to put out the fire. They stood amidst the fire, while risking their own lives to help others.
It was a nightmare in plain sight to see the fire burning down my nieghbor's home, but a real miracle that their lives were spared. I hope everyone will pitch in to help this sweet family get their lives back together. We have to set up meals, shelter, clothing, and even offer an open ear or a shoulder to lean on.
