This past Friday, July 3rd, our normally quiet neighborhood had some excitement. A house about 4 blocks down from our house caught on fire. My dad happened to look out our window and saw a huge dark ball of smoke. We ran down to see what was happening, along with most of the neighborhood, and saw the house fully engulfed in flames. We found out that it was the home of one of our families in our ward. They have lived in the house for several years. No one was in the house when it started which was a good thing. There were several fire engines, police cars, and even an ambulance there. This first picture has the ladder truck which they used to spray water on the house. Unfortunately, the house is a complete loss. The family was left with just the clothes on their back. This is a family of six with 4 teenagers and the parents that are left with pretty much nothing. It was amazing to see everyone there trying to support this family in this difficult time. The fire investigator is still investigating the fire but he is thinking their was a short in their power strip for their computer. It was so surprising to see something like this in our neighborhood. Never in a million years did I think any of this would happen in our neighborhood!! My thoughts and prayers are with this family.
