What an avatar.
I assume that is 'your fire'.
How'd you get the photo?

I used my new Olympus FE-280 while I waited for the fire trucks to arrive. I haven't read the user manual, but it's pretty intuitive. If you want to see more, I put them all on a web page:

Are the boys the ones who lost their house?
How did you get in the house to take those photos?
How long doe the "Fire Tape" stay up? Does the fire department come and take it down?
Were you friends with these guys? Did you feel any pull to invite them to come and stay with you while their house is being remade?

One of them owned the house. I think the others in the photos attended the party. Not sure which ones are smokers.
I walked in the front door.
Until someone takes it down, I guess. I don't think any special skills are required.
I occasionally chatted with the owner or would wave if I saw him. I wouldn't say that our relationship had blossomed into an actual friendship yet. No, I'm not set up for tenants or guests. If that house gets rebuilt, it will take at least a few months to complete, probably longer. There has been an insurance guy poking around over there all day. The owner has a girlfriend and I suspect that he'd prefer to sleep with her than with me. I second that emotion.

What do they put the tape up for if just anyone can take it down?

So, they named their NYE party a Pyro Party? No wonder the arson investigator was called in.

I think that was for a different party across the street. I just noted the irony when I saw it as the fire was burning a couple houses away. I'm not sure who hosted the Pyro party, but I found that having a fire is a good way to meet your neighbors.

Holy schmoley. This just creeped me out. I'm so glad you weren't caught in the, um, crossfire, as it were. Yikes.
