September 7, 2010 -- The Fourmile Fire above Boulder Colorado reportedly was started by a propane tank but to the victims, in doesn't matter. There are people who are hurting right now and could use assistance. There are also people looking for help and you could take a moment to help them as well!
As part of one big community there isn't any reason we shouldn't help, right?
