Thankfully, Janelle was able to make her way home with little incident. We didn't discover until today that the cause was trailer fire. Two mobile homes connected by a lean-to burned to the ground, and were still smoldering this afternoon. While the owner was not present at the time, the owner's dog died in the fire. According to the news, although the fire department was on scene within 10 minutes of receiving a call from a neighbor, the homes and everything in them were a total loss.
I'm again reminded of how fortunate we are.
