What a relief it was put out so fast! Great job by those employees. Nevertheless, I'm glad that the fire dept is so close by.

An excellent job by some alert and fearless "volunteer firefighters!" Well done! This may be a wake-up call for those with unrated and/or old wood shake roofs, to consider replacing them with at least a Class B if not a Class A roofing product. For more info please see Web Link and Web Link

Thanks & congratulatons to Tanner, Patricio, Lopez & Fernandez for quick action! Definitely time for roof upgrades & spark arrestor inspections, especially in a serious drought. Who owns that building?
