ADMIN: The article is the same way it was published the first time. It was never edited. All you just don’t read. lol
ADMIN, although we make mistakes and overlook certain matters, some of them are too impatient. They do not take the time to read and digest the article.
@ dominican abroad
Read the article again. There were two fires, one in Massacre and one in Dos Dan. The two occupants in the house in Dos Dan were taken to the Portsmouth hospital. Dos Dan is closer to Portsmouth.
Of course, Massacre is far away, hours from Portsmouth.
Sorry to hear your house burn down Curtis.
The lord is in charge.
