Week of the Fire

Sheesh--this week has been fire week in this "city" (there are technically 7+ cities). First we had the jet crash (I know you heard about that), then a medical tower caught fire on Monday or Tuesday. Then yesterday the local news was hijacked by a 4 alarm, 5 houses involved fire. Someone was finally killed (that's the amazing part of all those stories--no fatalities) when 2 senior citizens perished in a condo fire this morning.

Fires, and shootings, are common enough stories on our local news, and there's rarely a day that passes without either or both. But we don't normally have so many big fires (apartment fires and larger). Normally they're single family homes where fatalities are relative to the number of working smoke detectors in the home.
