There’s a helicopter hovering overhead, which I can see from my house on 47th. I assume this is why!

I was just going to ask if that’s what the helicopter was flying over the house for.

I hope he’s OK. I am checking with SFD to see if they have any more information about the person who was transported for evaluation.

Hey Kersti. This kitten is only 5 weeks old. Not outside yet. But all the cats are ok. Jessica lost a lot. Just about everything. It was a hot crazy fast blaze. Very scary.
