THat's scary. I found out yesterday that our well house at our lake lot burned down. They had a storm and everything was wet. The old trailor next to us burned down and caught the building on fire. There was nothing in it but we built it ourselves and it didn't get built over night. I'm glad the trees didn't burn though.
Well, I figured out where the tankers aren't, along with any crews right now. Here :(
