I hope someone checks on that lady that was still screaming at the top of her lungs when she was well over a block away when the fire first started. I’ve never heard anyone scream that long without taking a breath.

I was sitting in centro when this happened. Noone knew the fire depts phone number. 911 wasnt answering - Should be on every businesses wall.

I was wondering what was taking them so long to respond since they're nearby. I thought they were out on another call.
