You are the earth, my dear grandson, and just like it takes everything without complaining, so have you shown us today that you will take everything in kind, and there's no greater title than this.

We needed a tremendous amount of manpower to get the water and the hose up to extinguish the fire,

One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.

The fire... destroyed two bedrooms and the heat and water. We're just thankful we were able to get out without any loss of life. We did lose one of our cats to the fire and haven't been able to find the other one.

It started with a fire in the building. A helicopter started to sprinkle water to put out the fire. Afterwards, the building collapsed.

It doesn't look that bad from the outside. But inside, the water damage is incredible. The fire department was just awesome. After the fire was out, they went in and pulled down family pictures and moved wood furniture to less wet places and put tarps over it.
