A house down the street from me burned down.
I didn't know the people who lived there, but apparently everyone got out alive.
It must have happened when we were away on Labor Day weekend. We didn't hear or see a thing.
It's kind of scary since our fire department is volunteer, and there are no hydrants on my block - we have wells - so they had to come in with tankers when they were able to get here.
Nothing of the house was left but for a brick wall.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
