I'm just so glad no one was hurt. Property can be rebuilt. Villagers are notorious for stepping up and helping their neighbors when tragedy or hardship strikes.

Yes, If we were still down yonder we'd help in any way, and suggest a good way to help is to get the word out about circuits and holiday decorations.
not to suggest Big Brother-ish protocol, but maybe someone with a minimal knowledge of electricity and safety should help fellow decorators with their knowledge
