I’m going to buy a fire extinguisher… 3 fires 2 months ??? Ridiculous
@Shelley1029 4 fires (one deemed suspicious on Kimberly Place a day or so after the one on 238/Bailey) in less than 2 months.
Pray every one is safe
Around the same time and same area wtf?!?!?
@zhenman literally what I said
Save our Community.. These fires are getting out of hand and look very suspicious. We can’t even sleep at night waking up to sirens and alarms now to worry who is next.
@zhenman I’ve said that or it’s political..
