Sadness

On Tuesday Kyle came into the kitchen and told me that he wanted to go on his bike to follow some smoke that he could see.  I told him not to go too far because sometimes it looks like a fire is close but it could be far away.  He came back a few minutes later and said that it was 5 houses down and that the street had been blocked with police and ambulances everywhere.

I went outside and found a Community Policing Forum member to speak to.  A house had burnt down in our street.

I felt so very sad for this family.  I don't know them and I don't know how to find out where they are now.  The house is completely gutted and everything inside (the roof too) looks like it has just melted away.
