Ambulance chasing attorneys are waiting in the wings…
Cigarette smoking resident will be the charge here
Be safe, you guys!!!!
Given extent of damage in area affected by fire, it’s gonna be
awhile until it’s back online. Fire rebuilds are expensive.
Will actual events leading to cause of fire be revealed to the public ? ? ?
We’ll have to wait-n-see.
From what I heard from a guy that was there when it happened was that some pipe that was supposed to be shut off wasn’t. They opened it up and then the fire happened.
There was another fire and injury last night – assume they were working on the re-start …. hmmmm maybe a real issue there
