This is serious

Barley was giving me the serious look.  



It's almost as if she knew there was something bad going on in the town of Durand where Kris and Lora live.  A fire destroyed 3 small main street businesses overnight.  Very devastating for a small community like Durand.  Cottage Hill Floral and Frame,  Toni's Interiors, and The Durand Cafe are all a total loss according to weau.com.  Plus, the temperatures last night were below zero so the firefighters had a dangerous weather situation to deal with on top of the fire.  The news reports say that no one was injured, which is certainly good news.  I suspect that Durand's fire department is made up of volunteer firefighters.

I am amazed at the dedication that small town men and women have to this very difficult, and often times dangerous, job of protecting their local towns.

Hats off to firefighters.
