I live right up the street from this fire. I am well aquainted with this family. Its hard to believe that Stax (as we call him)would have done this. The family has been going through alot lately. Sorry to all those who lost their homes and belongings.my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I live about four blocks from the fire. I was sitting upstairs in my living room, and all of a sudden started smelling smoke. It worried me, I ran and qot my wife who was nursinq at the time.She stopped what she was doinq and we quickly rushed up there. One of the residents was banqinq on doors tryinq to qet people to evacuate their apts. Moments later SSL Fire Depts. arrived, they battled the fire. They worked very quickly to keep it from spreadinq. Later on as we drove by we noticed American Red Cross with five families.

I know this man very well and he is a good guy. He has been going through a lot in the past few years and is an awesome man. I can't believe that he did this, but he probably did. I feel bad for him because I know that he is an awesome guy. He just tripped out. He doesn't deserve to be behind bars, he needs a therapist. Help him, don't lock him up and criticize him!
