This is what Luke saw when he got to work in Wichita Tuesday morning. Love Box Company was on fire! We are praising God that nobody was hurt, which is really a miracle since there were 3 explosions and fire hot enough to melt "fire proof" ceilings. Here's what the news had to say about it:
Fire causes $2 million in damage
at Love Box Company
WICHITA, Kansas, Sept. 11, 2007 –
A fire at Love Box Tuesday morning did $2 million in damage. The fire started around 7 a.m. in the 700 block of East 37th Street North. Investigators say the 3-alarm fire was caused by a generator malfunctioning.It took firefighters about an hour to put it out, even though the flames were discovered and reported to dispatchers quickly.
"There wasn't anybody directly in this building," Battalion Chief Rob Hughes, Wichita Fire Department, said. "There were people in close proximity to it and they heard the explosion and they investigated and quickly found the fire and alerted 911." The flames were contained to the one building, but there's heavy smoke damage in that area as well as damage to generators and boilers.
Luke spent most of his morning helping people set up temporary offices since their building was blocked off and smoke damaged. It was quite a day. While he was discouraged that he didn't get any work done all morning... he was so thankful that there was not even 1 person injured.
Thank you Lord, for your protection!

Yikes! I hadn't seen that on the news at all. Guess I wasn't paying attention. See you later when you come to Hays!
