@TheMonctonNews ..I think Vocaloid meant fuse box..A fuzz box is a guitar pedal

which would server no purpose in a Daycare and runs on a 9volt.

Glad to hear none of the kids got hurt.For the two adults that did,get well soon...Best wishes...

@canadaeast You're acting like you should be attending daycare.

My sister in law is an employee there and is currently in ICU. We are all praying for her. She is glad that all the children got out safe, and thanks everybody for their support.

A buildup of diaper methane has not been ruled out.

this brought a tear to my eye. Definitly thinking of all the members of Country Kids and Im sure all the staff and students are definitly going to need the communities support.

I heard that the two staff that were taken to the hospital, that one was ok and doing fine, but the other was burned badly as her entire body was on fire. This is a sin. I also learned this daycare just had completed many major renovations too. So good to know the children were not injured. Time will tell the real damage on the children who experienced this tragic experience. I'm sure some will have nightmares and others will need some serious counselling.
