so I'm thinking, what if this fire wasn't just a random accident? like what if it was staged or something? I mean, think about it, the fire department shows up super fast and they're able to put it out before it spreads... that's suspicious, right? 
They really help out a lot. And I'm just glad it wasn't worse, you know? Like, some people might've lost their homes or whatever. Fingers crossed everything works out for that family
