Default my hometown downtown nearly burned down

Last night I got a call over my pager at 10:30pm about a fire in a building downtown. I was there for 9 hours with 5 other towns. Unfortunately the building was lost. Two stores and 6 apartments (maybe less) . Luckily It didn't spread.

I had to look twice when I clicked the link... didn't realize you're like 2 1/2 hours from me. There was an even a little article in our local paper this morning.

Glad no one was hurt. Always sad to see small hometown businesses go through something like that.

I have been hoping to head up the the QC area if we get a nice day in the next couple weeks... maybe we need to go a slightly different direction, haha.
