Update about the searsmount fire, today on 5/15/26 we lost one of our own, I hate to make this post as a first responder myself. I can’t imagine the damage this has done to the family let alone the community in general, I offer my deepest condolences out there for the family and friends of the lost one.

For anyone that has family or friends down there & you need help, I am here & so are others, you are not alone.

I will post more when stuff become available
