"My community and possibly my home is on fire. My family is safe. Many of my friends will lose their homes," Curtis said. "If ever there was need for the use of the phrase MY HAND IN YOURS, it is right now. Take care of each other. Stay out of the way and let the firefighters do their work. Pray if you believe in it and even if you don't, pray for those who do."
