I was in Fairbanks, Alaska sound asleep this past Saturday morning when Jenn called to tell me about a fire in Buzzy’s Country Store. Nothing like that kind of message to wake you up and get your motor running.

Turns out that the beer cooler light ignited when Jenn turned the cooler on and an electrical fire broke out. As the cooler quickly filled with smoke Jenn called 9-1-1 and the Ridge Fire Department folks quickly responded and extinguished the fire before it could spread anywhere else. My thanks to everyone from the Fire Department who helped out on this.
Also, special thanks to Clyde Ridgell, Steve Wilkinson and L.P and Lisa Mercure who helped Jenn relocate all the beer out of the cooler and clean things up. And of course my thanks to Jenn for being on the scene and dealing with the whole situation.
Seems like something always happens whenever I go away. Hope God isn’t trying to tell me anything that I may not be hearing. However, it won’t be the first time that I ever failed to “see the light.” Right Todd?
