A Terrible Fire has taken a toll – I fear our friend’s
home was burned up
I was
stunned last evening when my friend sent me a note via ‘text messaging” that
the Co-op Housing near where he lives was on fire. At that stage the fire had been burning for a
bit but not yet burned out – or as far as it would go later.
I have
not yet heard from my friend and I don’t know if it is the place he lives in. I am worried for them for sure!
Last evening there were 34 units that burned up completely from what I read
this morning – see Fire
destroys most of 34-unit Leta Brownscombe Co-Operative Homes apartment building
I have
been in this housing development when I served as a Minister in that area. This was a good area to live and very helpful
to the people that lived there.
The units
were built from a wood frame construction with siding on the outside. Added to this some of the units are side by
side – in a row with no space between.
Other units are multi leveled – like an apartment building. It would not
take much for the fire to consume this building from what I have seen.
How
terrible!
In the
last few days our weather has been so hot we can’t find cool places to be
in. Our home thermometer was telling us
that the outside temperature on our side deck area was 37 Degrees Celsius – it even
made breathing uncomfortable. There was
no cool air to take in.
Add to
that the humidity has been high and our bodies cannot find the comfort it
needs.
My mom is
usually cold – or feels the cold with the temperature around her. In this
weather she has suffered along with the rest of us. She finds a relatively cooler spot in front
of a fan and then reads her book.
Last
evening was uncomfortable for us… but not nearly as uncomfortable as it was for
our friends in the north end of Peterborough from the Fire destroyed most of
34-unit Leta Brownscombe Co-Operative Homes apartment building.
Today I will think of them often… and be very concerned for the
friends that I have living there. Think
of Kevin, Julie and Jessica today and pray for them. This is going to be very difficult for all
involved.
