Small town tragedies

[greatbear]

Got some bad news yesterday. A fire in Jeff's hometown of Trevorton, PA took five lives. And in what is typical in small towns (Trevorton has about 1500 townsfolk) the people who lost their lives were friends of Jeff as well as his nieces. Yeah, everyone knows everyone in these small, old-fashioned towns, unlike the cold interchangeability of people in modern suburbia. And with these old towns come old houses that can go up in flames so easily. Jeff tells me that this house was basically only blocks away from the fire department. Things can change so horrifically, so fast.
