Fire in hometown.
Well I live in a small community, Very tight nit, Everyone knows everyone kind of deal. We had a fire today at the local "Dollar Stop" and have some footage to share, ( I did not film it ) Also the building was pretty large single story. Sadly, Two firefighters were caught in the blaze and died, I know both of them fairly well.

Thanks Shark, They released the names about an hour ago, And I knew both of them. One was My stepmoms brother. I know this story really seems miniscule compared to what else is going on in the world, But any loss of a human fighting for Our safety is tragic.

Exactly, Well said Shark, There was an update: The two men that passed went in to the building to clear out and pedestrians, Roof collapsed on them and died from their injuries.

when you talk about people in numbers, you forget the humanity, but if you know that someone, or live by them, or here a story about them, its alot sharper of a blow.
