Good morning everyone,
It has been an interesting few days here.
We had the visitation for the victims of Saturday mornings fatal housefire on wednesday night, and the funeral was yesterday.
After the funeral, at 8 last night, a prayer service was held at the house.
At the funeral, those of us on the fire dept got paid for our work.
Remember we are all volunteers.
We had a person at the funeral ask us why we do it, since we dont get paid for it.
Just as he asked the question, Austin walked in.
He is the little boy that we pulled out of the fire and lifeflighted to a Louisville hospital.
His arms are wrapped in bandages, and he has a small cut on his forehead, but other then that he is OK.
I simply pointed to Austin and said "we just got paid".
Seeing that little boy walk in, after we werent even sure we had saved him, is all the payment we need.
The local Fox news affiliate was at the prayer service at the house last night, and they have been covering the story since the fire, they reported from the fire that morning.

Click on the watch icon under "electrical cause for Union County fire".
There are also some other videos that can link from that one, about the father dying a hero, and about 100+ people.
This county has lost 2 young children in the last week, and I am hoping that there wont be any more for a while.
Anyway, thats the news from here for now.
