This is tough subject under any conditions. Having nearly died in a fire myself as a young boy this hits home for me. Some people might be offended by this as a record of someones pain and suffering but eventhough this hits me hard it is still important to document happenings like this. For all conserened I hope and pray that everyone there is safe.

This is powerful and reminds us that as people we are strong and if everyone got out safely there is hope in the face of adverstiy. On a personal level if this is your own home, the home of family member or a friend, it took, I'm sure, a tremendous amount of strenght to post this and I applaud you for that strenght and can at this point only offer our prayers to you and yours.
As I often do I remember the fire in our home and the pain that came with it everything that we lost and the things that we didn't. The thing that sticks with me the most and in the most vivid detail were the teenage kids and the mindless adults laughing at our plight and the ease at witch they were hoping that they would see some dead people. I'm sure that this is not the case here seeing as the devestation is so wide spread.

Again I hope that all is well there and everyone is ok.
