2 families luckily got out in Royal Oak last night. Need to be careful.

5 adult males dead in the fire? I think this will have an interesting twist to the story. Tragic none the less.

Well I hope you're entertained by that revelation. Maybe 5 buddies/roommates/family members were just minding their own business and something unforseen and accidental happened in their sleep?

Probably by smoke inhalation if they were all together, very unfortunate indeed. Really puts things into perspective.

That's very, very unfortunate and sad.

There's people in my community (Rocky Ridge/Royal Oak) collecting donations for the families here who lost their houses last night. 2 families, including 4 young children, lost everything. Another house has serious water/smoke/heat damage. They're not looking for physical donations and instead are asking for cash or gift cards (Walmart, Sobeys, Co-op, etc) to give to the families.
If anyone wants to donate can visit the Rocky Ridge Ranch (10709 Rocky Ridge Blvd NW) before 3 and see Elizabeth. She's the one heading up the donations. Anytime after that, PM me and I'll help you make sure any donations still get to them.
Spoiler!

That's exactly what Reaper was pointing out.

Haha. I thought he was referring to it being a pretty unclassy term to be saying at the time.

Come on now, they are quoting. The guy must have clearly said "right-offs".
