Not much sleep Sunday night because of this fire. This preschool is just a block or so away from our house, and it was reported on fire at just about midnight. Fire truck sirens were blaring for about 20 minutes, then lots of shouting, and I could hear the trucks running, and the water splashing, and then the terrible smell. It's interesting that this fire is very close to the location of another fire a few years ago. Same street, and same block. In that case, a disgruntled renter set a house on fire. Fire investigators say they don't know about this one yet. Lots of surprised parents when they went to drop their kids off in the morning.

Luckily (if I can say that), it happened in the night. I can imagine how the kids must have been chocked.
ReplyDeleteSomeone too shy to post has pointed out - where WERE the guardian angels to protect the place?
ReplyDeleteWow, good thing there were no kids there when it happened! I guess the guardian angels at least made sure of that!
ReplyDeleteRather pathetically, break-ins and attempted fires were pretty common at my primary school. I’m not sure why yobs like to target kids stuff (like play parks), but they often seem to.
