Horrific phone call this morning.

Don my house is on fire can you go up and do something. Grab all the fire extinguishers and fly up to his house on the side by side. The attached garage we fully involved. However the fire trucks were there so I backed off. A lot of damage. 10 kids but everyone got out ok. So that is what I kept telling him to calm him down.
Scary stuff.
