On Wednesday January 4th I received a five series email about a fire in downtown Seymour. I have decided to paste each one here as a series. You’re welcome.

I know how news spreads….if you hear about buildings on 2nd street downtown Seymour on fire…its 2 buildings across the street…thankfully, not ours.

OK. I went outside and talked to the fire chief. We’re on a first name basis because of the previous issues with Phil squatting in the Chatterbox.
The fire is actually from the back of the 2 buildings next to “This Old Guitar” – however, smoke is billowing out the front windows. 2nd Street is blocked off, they just broke out the windows.
They are bringing their guitars over to put into the old Bevers space.

OK. The flames are not shooting out the back of the buildings with all the black smoke…I fear for ‘This Old Guitar’.

Update – the red building roof has collapsed and its out of control again. Helicopters are flying around, so we’ll be on the 11:00 news.
Fire Trucks have come from North Vernon.
The Salvation Army is setting up in Bevers to distribute food, etc.
I just can’t figure out what’s in that red building that just won’t go out….3 hoses continually from 3 angles.
Insurance agent already let us know that we are covered for clean up of smoke damage, etc.
I’m starting to cough.
We turned off the furnace to keep fresh air out since its not so fresh.
We’re all getting a lot done here today.
Oh…the possible tenant is having a meeting next week to decide.

Someone is doing a live facebook feed from our 2nd floor window behind the elevator. I didn’t know that when I started talking….then he turned the phone around, so I said ‘hi’.
So….if you see someone in that poncho K got me for Christmas on Facebook….its really me.
