Update on fire from last night

Everyone managed to get out safely, thank God. There's an article about it, with the windows all smashed in upstairs and such, but to be honest, that's not bad compared to the damage that could have happened.

(you'll note in the comments, you'll be able to know which one is mine... when people started saying it was a waste of tax money to send the extra trucks in... sorry, if it's an emergency, it's not a waste of money)

Seriously, though, for such a small town, fires seem to happen way too often lately.

(btw, the punishment in that case was that the guys who started it now have to spend the next few July 4th in jail, since they ruined the holiday for so many)
