 |
|
Anybody know the story about the fire, the night of Harvey, that completely leveled the 2 story house at Whitecap and Cruiser? Took a bunch of cars with it, and reduced the place to rubble.
Strange this was, the house next door, less than 10 feet away,...you couldn't even tell a fire took place?
Any insights to the cause, and if anyone was home at the time? |

and an extra tidbit that I got was that by the time the firetrucks got there, the water was turned off, and the only water they had was in their truck, so they basically just protected the house next door and let that one burn out...they only had enough water to stop it from spreading...
