Holiday fire

[J. r. Weems]

New old guy here. Would of liked to have done a better job with this photo- night shots are not the norm for me. As it was, this made the local news, and paper. My 5 seconds of fame. I find the tape a bit of a distraction, some seem not to??? Turns out, no onw was injured. Lights on the FRONT porch were later blamed.
*************
As we go about our holiday routine, PLEASE, everyone remember to be ever so vigilant when it comes to candles, and other holiday decorations. The below photo, my first since having my shoulder operated on 3 weeks ago, took place at about 9:15 PM this evening. As to whether the lone person known to live here was present, we do not know at this time. Fire would of seemed to have started in the front of the house, burning up through the roof in just minutes.
PLEASE, EVERYONE, be careful, and use the best of judgement. I was less than 200 ft when this was taken as it is a home just behind ours. I would guess the house is a total loss, and am praying there was no one home.
Best,
J. R.
