Sometimes it is just better to skip straight to the end before filling in the details.... There was a bad fire in the slum neighborhood that I live in, but it could have been much worse. Thank you for those of you who were alerted and prayed. Thankfully there was virtually no wind -- the little hint of wind was blowing towards the concrete overpass where there were fewer flammable material and more hydrants, so the fire was fairly quickly contained. Had it been a windy night, the outcome would have been much different, as the houses are pretty much kindling waiting for a match, and nearly each home would contain a gas canister for cooking. Our own house was untouched. The only loss we suffered personally was most of a night's sleep. Nobody died (and, as far as I know, there were no serious injuries, but over 100 little homes were burned to the ground. I will write more later.
