Thanks for the update. It sounded like gun shots. Now I can go back to sleep.

Awakened by 4 explosions just before 3 am… house burned on 400 block of Grand Avenue at Daly corner… rumor of bottle rockets, possibly one landing on a house roof, lots of smoke and flame… eyewitness reported two residents, one shirtless, outside on curb crying and in shock…

This was my best friends house. Glad to confirm that every one escaped safely without anything more than a few minor cuts. Unfortunately, a cat was lost in the incident.
After speaking with the city building inspector, the house is a total loss. However, the owner is already looking forward to rebuilding soon.
