Bushes on my friends property burned up during the night but the fire department never made any attempt to contact them is it possible they might send mail or something to to explain what happened. The fire department did put it out by the way

Asked by Steve almost 6 years ago

If no one was there probably not unless the homeowner was filing a claim they would need to contact the dept. otherwise it was a simple brush type fire and minimal fire reporting would not be required.

Your take on Gorge Floyd

Asked by Bb almost 5 years ago

My take is two fold or more so 3 fold. These is previous history between Derek and Floyd, Derek was responsible for his death and Floyd was not a choir boy. Let the legal process take its course. He will be convicted I feel confident.
