      The home directly next door to our town fire station (less than 200 yards away) burned down when I was in high school. Also it was also the fire chief’s former house.

      We kinda always assumed it was for insurance money, but I really have no idea.

      They’re almost certainly volunteer fire fighters given that this is a rather small town, so there might not have been any present at the time.

    The cause of the blaze has yet to be ascertained but initial reports suggested a battery charger may have overheated.

    Friendly reminder that this can happen to anyone.

    I have a dream. It’s not a big dream, it’s just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don’t find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can’t have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, “Whatever you do, don’t call the fire department!” That would be bad.
