Yes and thank goodness the fire department got there in time because the fire was getting close to the people on the first and second floors windows, possibly even the 3rd floor windows in the front of and side of that building!! SMH.

Exactly. I was just talking about that to my hubby. My best friend lives in the other buildings near that building. SMH.
