Got word at about 9:30 the fire was contained. I'm hearing several fire trucks and other emergency vehicles headed back to their towns as they pass by my home.

This was an 11-alarm fire. I've never heard of such a thing. The support from the neighboring towns was amazing and I'm thankful for their help.

On another local forum I haunt there's folks posting who owned cottages in that area. Some were not insured but the cottage had been in the family for a long time. So sad.
