Sometimes you can kill two birds with one stone as they say, but it even provided "entertainment" for onlookers. So, was it a three-way tie? Clearing land for a better park while giving firefighters badly needed training AND a show for free? I'm still a little boy who wants to watch the streets being paved. Count me in.
I was not quite three when this happened. We lived across the street from the shacks that were burned; I remember being afraid the fire would spread.
