SA Firefighter General / School fire shatters community...........again
« on: January 26, 2006, 05:03:12 AM »
On Wednesday 18th Jan, @ 5:21am I received a phone call to attend a fire at the local school, when i got there 4 mins later, the whole school was ablaze & I knew then that we couldn't save it. The Investagators deemed it to be an electrical fault this time, thankfully it wasn't arson, as was the last one. The fire caused around $1 million worth of damage.
Our community have rallied since then to save our school site & thankfully it is saved, school will resume as normal on monday 30th. We have the library & craft block that are going to be used until our new building arrives.
I stayed for 12 hours that day to ensure it was out, with a few startups during the day, I have know idea how i held it together for that day, but when I got home that night, it hit me, hard.
