3 edits |  Mojo For Optimized
I have both good news and not so good news to relay regarding our lost Penguin, Optimized .
Good news is Optimized   has been found.
The bad news is a fire has ravaged his home on the 15th of November, and has caused him to be hospitalized. He has a good prognosis, but at the time of this writing...he still is in the ICU.
I will post the article below and let you know that he & his family have lost everything. They made it out alive, and that is something to be very thankful for on this Thanksgiving Holiday.
Donations are being accepted by the family to a separate account established by friends.
Any donation be it large or small would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.
We are in the process of trying to create a PayPal account for this purpose. Details to follow shortly. Those who wish to make a donation directly to a mailing address can IM me for information.
Two police officers and a neighbor are credited with saving the lives of four people trapped by flames in a wind-whipped fire at a house on xxxxxxxxxx early Friday.
"That was a fast-moving fire," said Capt. John Riordan, a Police Department spokesman. "Between the officers and the neighbor, they did a tremendous job. They couldn't have gotten out any other way."
Everyone was sleeping when fire broke out at the two-family house at xxxxxxx around 1:30 a.m.
A family of four living on the first floor had already gotten out. But living upstairs were four people - including an infant and her grandmother - and they were trapped by flames that had engulfed the stairwell.
There was only one thing to do: jump. F, H, and T braced themselves at the bottom of the window. Out came the infant xxxxx Then her mother xxxxxxx. After her, the baby's grandmother,xxxxxxx. And then finally came Rxxx xxxxxx, police said.
F broke the fall and in doing so, also broke his ankle and leg. He was taken to xxxxxxxx, where he was to undergo surgery Friday, Riordan said. The xxxx were taken to xxxxxxx. Hospital officials declined to comment on their condition, but a family friend outside the charred remains, where much of the second floor's contents lay blackened in the yard, said that only mother and daughter had been released.
Fire investigator Scott Kooreman said the blaze apparently ignited in a rear stairwell and was likely caused by short-circuited wires but a final determination hasn't been made. However, more troubling, he said, was the absence of smoke detectors in the second-floor unit and the dead batteries in the first-floor warning system.
Wayne firefighters extinguished the blaze, which left eight people homeless. Authorities were investigating Friday.
