I then went east on 119th and turned north on Quivira and by the time I was almost to College Blvd it had gone from some black smoke to a wall of flames that were much higher than the trees that would have blocked my view. So it went from just starting to engulfed in flames within 10-15 minutes.
Glad to see that you are vigilant about events going on in your community.

And our powerful, lobbying lumber companies laugh all the way to the bank!

If only we built houses, apartment buildings like they do in Mexico, concrete all the way, we wouldn't need so many "heroic" Firemen!

Will the U.S. ever learn????????

Glad you didn't use the opportunity to get any snarkier than you usually do. Just regular snarky.

Fortunately no one was devoured by pigs giving you a reason to express your regional bias.

I think you're confusing the user lovekcmo with the user kcmo.
