Fire is the worst possible thing. Most people have no clue just how fast a fire can spread. Unfortunately, TV and movies never really show that.

I have never been in a fire, but it is the one thing I'm terrified of.

They only mentioned Charles Robb. I figured reporters may have been too young to know about her.
