From the article...Several trailers burned in the fire. However, no people were injured.
I want to know about the poor squirrel, did he die?

“How did they determine the squirrel was gay?”
His hometown was San Francisco...and he was wearing an ascot.

I had to post this for the humor of the title alone.
Yes it was a pretty damaging fire. Good thing this school and the surroundings were pretty rural.
As far as the squirrel, it doesn't say. I can tell you of a rather large squirrel (fox squirrel I think) got his tail caught in a transformer next my house. Major explosion. The squirrel dropped like a rock. Half his tail gone, he finally came to and ran off. Lucky guy. Our power was out all day.

You know several...you know dozens of people squirrels spontaneously combust each year, it's just not really widely reported.

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
