    I was the victim in that fire. I am alive today thank you to the EMS and I think the Cantonment fire dept. Thank you to God, the fire dept and EMS for saving my life.

    I am her neighbor and thank God for the quick thinking of my son and his friend for calling 911 and the fire department getting there within minutes or it may have been a different outcome. God is good and I’m so happy she survived although she’s critical ! But God …..

    My thoughts, prayers to this wonderful, kind hearted, generous, loving Christian human being. May Christ be with you, bless you and keep you and speedy recovery. By the grace of Jesus Christ I pray for her and her family in their utmost time of need.

    It is that time of year to check your smoke detectors and batteries. As I type this, I have not checked my smoke detectors since last year. None of us think this can happen to us, but despite a beautiful house, car, and landscaping you need to take the time to protect your family and monitor your smoke detectors. They are life savers. Prayers to the family, and may they safely return home.
