fire

This morning, Lewiston had its third apartment complex fire in just a week. The first two were set off allegedly by 12-year-old boys, unrelated to each other except maybe by inspiration. I went down to today's scene to get a sense, feel and look at last night/this morning's L fire. Again, thankfully nobody was hurt. Sadly it is the same kind of scene with the firetrucks from in town and out of town, news cruisers, Salvation Army, Red Cross, etc.

It takes an exceptionally brave man to plunge down into the crater of a volcano. And you have to wonder a little about his sanity if he does so just to grab some cool footage and a better view of a lake filled with swirling molten lava.
