It’s sad how people see this as a joke but if one of them families was there burning,I bet they would’ve been crying to GOD to save them.People instead of making fun of people getting hurt and making jokes,we should pray for them and their families.GOD is real and he’ll and heaven is real.
I pray for that police officer and that no one else especially firefighters and police don’t get hurt on this call. God bless and watch over everyone! Amen 🙏 🙏🙏
To everyone who is scared and worried rn remember to focus on what’s in your control and be kind to one another and yourself.
What does a fire have to do with the mayor? Like at least blame him for things he’s actually responsible for!
