Shannon Taylor To many thatched roofs here as well. They might look pretty but theyre one job firefighters hate going on. Most thatched roof fires start in the chimney by a spark or by electrical faults.

Owen Mantsch I just don't get how they can give free cell phones, food, healthcare, and many other free things to people able bodied people able to work and get jobs. Without blinking. But for the people that put their ass on the line everyday they are so quick to cut and deny the help they need. It's horrible the system is messed up.
