Last week on the way into work, David and I noticed a plume of smoke coming from a couple blocks away. My reporter instincts started to tingle. So after I kicked the huz out of the car and into the hospital, I went over to see what was going on.
Neighbors and fire trucks surrounded the beautiful 1904 Victorian home as it’s top floor smoldered.
According to the fire chief, no one was home at the time it started burning, but the cat and the dog were heroically rescued. And the teen who lived there got an excused absence from school that day.
Like most homes in our neighborhood, this home was architecturally beautiful and had been owned by the same people for generations. It was recently sublet into two apartments. All the neighbors knew each other and all lined up to help. The support for this family was monumental, and frankly impressive.
