[charlene]

I believe it is...

[Cathy]

Yes, it is.
All that was left standing were the stone chimneys.
The house siding was being resealed or restained, one or the other, and whatever they were using was very flamable. Sad.

Will that show air on CBC, Char?

[charlene]

Probably not CBC - the CMT up here will have it.
