Today has been a harsh reminder for our community just how quickly everything can change. Just before 1 pm a house fire broke out in a one of our local neighborhoods. The cause is still undetermined. The resident home at the time made it out safely. Nothing inside was saved. Donations of any amount will be great appreciated. ... We also want to remind everyone to check your smoke alarms. Have your fire place regularly maintained by a certified chimney sweep. Drench your fireplace ashes before dumping them outside. Blow out candles when you leave the room. Always double check to make sure the heater is off when you’re done using it. You can never to too cautious. That one extra second could save everything. https://gf.me/u/zcmku7
