No one expects to live through the destruction brought on by a fire. Fires just happen, well, there’s always an ignition point, bad wiring, carelessness with an ember, but something burning to the ground can mark a person. What was is reduced to ash and twisted charcoal, something may rise from that ash, but the fire that brought the ash will remain.
This is you’re listening to radio revel, Season three: Four decades. In this week’s episode, Barn burning, I’m sharing a bit of family fire karma. You may have heard in Episode three that I was pretty fascinated by flames and things burning. Now you’ll get a chance to see how even those trying to teach me about fire were just as careless.
Have you had an experience with a major fire? A home, a car, maybe just a Christmas tree you forgot to leave water for? Share your story with me and I’ll slip it into the Everyman Biography Project and maybe even in a future satellite podcast episode.
