That's what happened when I worked at the embassy in Moscow - we had a devastating fire that ate through the heart of the building, started by welders working on a new elevator. I thank my lucky stars I was out of the office on an assignment that morning because my office was directly next door to the elevator, and it was the first place to be incinerated. Just like this fire, speed and intense heat made everything get out of control in under 2 or 3 minutes. I feel for the folks who are now homeless. What a nightmare. I hope they all had renters/homeowners insurance... I just read that it was likely the acetylene torches used by construction workers that started the blaze.

My heartaches for people displaced, and those that lost their pets :( Thanks for the reminder to 'take action'. (Glad your belongings & place was spared!) Tragic, just tragic.
