This is a developing story. I don't live there, but am fond of that little gold-rush town,
and hate to think of it being destroyed.

Hope I've posted this "correctly."

Just heard an update, they are trying to save the whole downtown area, pretty nasty fire, no injuries reported.

No NO NO NO NO NO!

This just can not be. I used to live there. It is a beautiful little town in the Gold country.

There are some details here:

BREAKING NEWS! - Fire in Downtown Nevada City

It doesn't sound as bad as the first reports, but it looks like a friend's Deli was probably destroyed :(

This makes me want to cry. I worked at the Alpha Store across from the National Hotel for years managing the furniture dept. We lived on Red Dog Road. What a lovely place. The history is rich. All those buildings are tinder boxes. This would not be the first time in the town's history that it burned down. I am so sad to hear this.
