The Fire

Today like everyone else I'm thinking about the The Station Fire. We all know somebody who was affected by that day. I don't have anything to had that has been said already and if I did it would pale in comparison to the heartbreaking stories of those more closely involved.
We were landing at the airport that night and I remember looking out the window and seeing the flames in the distance. As we rode home I noticed many emergency vehicles passing us going north. I knew it was something bad. I have often thought about how many times I was in cramped clubs with music blasting and having a great time with friends not thinking about what could happen. I think of it now when I'm in a new crowded, public place.
I don't know, I really don't know...(sigh)  Such a tragedy.
