On Behalf of someone who lost everything in a fire a couple blocks down I hope the family is okay and they all recover. A house fire is no joke.
Lord please protect anyone in danger I pray everyone got out safely . I hope no humans or animals were harm In jesus name amen 🙏🏼🥺
Before a fire starts to get bad and you’re near it before you start to record knowing help is on the way you can always lend a helping hand by yelling “Fire Department Call Out” so they can head towards the direction of your voice. Especially if they can’t see due to the smoke. So many shows and fire department school trips teach you that at least in the past not sure about now. Hope nobody was alone during this situation especially pets us humans at least stand a chance
No no I don't think everyone understands the severity of this fire compared to a normal house fire. From what im seeing it spread from house to house compared to a single house fire.. when FDNY puts a COMMAND POST. That is not good.
