i remember that that was a huge fire

[XLValenciaXL]

I remember that. Me and my family ate there the previous night. Next morning we woke up about 11 and we were out on our balcony at 20th and boardwalk and all we seen was thick black smoke so most of my family grabbed a beer and sat on the balcony and watched it. It was crazy.

@runescapefreak099

If you have Firefighter 1 consider moving into Bethany Beach VFC and doing their live-in program; Google Bethany Beach Sta. 70 and look for it on their website. It would definitely be worth while, I think, because they run boxes in OC and have enough of their own calls. It is dead in the winter, 10-20 calls a week for OCFD. Since January 2010 OCFD has had about 6000+ combined EMS & Fire calls. Hit me up in my inbox if you need help. Nick, Millville DE VFC Sta. 84
