A fire at a brownstone. Who could imagine a daylight fire at a narrow four story building calls for nine alarms and takes away lives of two firefighters?
I am no expert, but for me, today's fire was a worst case scenario with many unfortunate conditions. What if the low pressure took a little more western route and we had had massive wet snow or treacherous rain in the morning? What if wind had not been so strong in the way I have never experienced? What if wind had blown from the south rather than blowing straight from Charles River so it would not have fueled the fire with such a distructive intensity?
My thoughts extend to the families and friends of the deceased and the injured, and those bravely fought against the fire today. I wish the residents who lost their homes get back normalcy as soon as possible. We run into all kinds of disasters while we live. We must not take it granted to have people around who are devoted to the public safety.
