Yesterday I was driving Liam and Orson home from our house when we noticed a big cloud of gray smoke coming from the direction of their neighbourhood. It usually takes about 8 minutes to make the trip but it took much more because we got stopped on several corners near their house and turned back the way we came. We finally went down to the harbour and made a legal u-turn and came back by some back streets. The power was off at the Baines home and at a traffic light on Portland Street.
Two houses on Lindenwood Terrace burned and the siding of a third house melted. We could see them as we were driving by. No-one was hurt in the fire. Tonight for family home evening we went for a walk past the houses. I imagine there hasn't been so much traffic on that street since it was subdivided. Everyone was out for a look.
The houses looked much worse from the back as we could see from the highway. When we walked we could only see the front.
