We all possess various objects of sentimental value, but material things are incomparable to a single human life. Despite this tragic event, I think that the fact that no has died is something to be thankful for.

It's great to know you're okay, my friend. The fire didn't directly affect you and your family, so that's also something, but nevertheless, this must really be a blow to you and your community. The numerous people affected by this fire are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay safe, WhitePinoy, and let's hope that mudslide never comes.
