I’m gonna say this loud for the people in the back… I’ve got nothing but respect for our firefighters, first responders, and the volunteer crews that show up when things go bad. These are the folks running toward the chaos while the rest of us are figuring out which way is safe.
So, seeing this situation even get to this point? Yeah… that’s a little wild to me.
