horrible

My neighbors need any thoughts or prayers you could send their way. They lost their shop this morning, probably with at least one tractor in it, I don't know details at this point. What I do know, they were trying to fix something in their furnace and it caught fire and got away from them. They just had 17 tonnes of coal delivered yesterday to heat

I guess they're doing as well as can be expected. They're about 2 miles away from us(only one house in between), and we're in some trees, so we didn't see the smoke, only heard about it after the fact. Apparently, there were so many neighbors and friends there while the fire was going that people didn't have anything to do and were being turned away. We live in a wonderful area. And people are still helping.

The big issue now for them, is that all their heat ran off that furnace. They would've had a boiler out there to heat water for in-floor in their house. Now that the water is cold, there's the risk that the pipes will freeze, but they may have had the proper anti-freeze in there. I sure hope so. Good news is though, the shop was far enough from the house that there is no fire damage to the house.
