Yay for the BSVFB & all who helped put it out. Dodged another catastrophe!
Heroes you all are, and then some!
Special Shout out to on the scene neighbors who also assisted in arresting the fire
It takes a village, and one that cares
This is a great village to live in for that reason and many others
Kate,
2 power outages in the village in successive days interesting too. What is going on?
Once again, thanks so much to the BS Fire Brigade, from next door neighbor of John K
Carry a round point shovel in your vehicle.....it can make a big difference in the outcome of these events.
