Neighbors house was on fire. I actually got here with the first fire truck, and had to spray my own house to keep from losing it too. the fire was so hot, and no fire hydrants in our neighborhood, that the fire dept emptied 4 full size trucks and at least 1 pumper truck, refilled a couple trucks and emptied them again. they have returned 2 more time throughout the night to knock it back down again. it was 100% loss, the only thing still standing is the back porch. I have a couple cracked windows, and possibly some roof damage, but the neighbor lost everything. I knew our prayers had been answered when I saw the damage to my gas meter on the side of my house, all the bushes on that side are burned. my neighbor realized his house was gone, and told the fire dept to focus on mine, and they had to call another fire dept for back up to save mine at that point. if you pray, please pray for my neighbors, they are going to need all the help they can get.

That has to be one of the worst things to have to go through. Glad to read that they were able to keep damage to yours at a minimum.

Talked to the neighbor this afternoon, and we're working on finding them some clothes and things for now. He said it would be the end of the week before his insurance told him anything. Praying for the best outcome for them.

That is the best Blessing of all. Awards
