Thanks for all who have responded on this. Fortunately, and amazingly,
almost all is well. That ol Starker luck kicked in, and so far, only the
bedrooms were damaged in the fire, and that from water and smoke. The rest
of the apartment escaped major damage, and they are busy moving out as I
type. So all their possessions, minus some clothes are safe at this point.
One cat is still at large, but was not killed in the fire. We are
discussing holding a benefit for the other residents of the building who
did lose everything. But Bob came thru this well. I don't know how. I guess
the FD got their so fast that they stopped the fire before it got to Bob's
apartment. They didn't even need to break the front windows. Above and on
his floor, the place was toast. Amazing.
Again, thanks for the show of support. That means alot, as you well know. I
may have jumped the gun a bit on calling for some help, but that's good.
Matt
