I would also like to take this opportunity to formally launch my new web site.  It is still a work in progress and I have a lot to add, but I am satisfied enough at this time to put it out there.  Images from this fire and many other incidents can be seen at http://wcfs.smugmug.com/.  Hope you enjoy.
