Fire can be so destructive.

On my way to work at 5.30 this morning I notice that the fire truck wasn't at the fire station. It's never a good thing to see and you wonder what has called the guys out at this early hour. The first thing I thought was there had been another accident out on the highway and the guys had been called to help out, this happens a bit.

But no, as I went past the intersection I saw the flashing lights from the fire truck in front of a friends house and their house was a pile of smoking rubble. I knew that my friend was away for a few days but wasn't sure if her husband was at home or not. Turns out he was at home but thank goodness he woke in time and was able to get out of his bedroom window to safety.

Thank you God for keeping him safe.
