Just thought I would throw that out there!
PO members Stay safe! I'm sure my cousin is in there fighting these fires somewhere.

The worn building, with a "Country Store" sign in front, was boarded up with "closed" spray-painted over windows and doors. Nearby is a mobile home where Rund is believed to live.
Paul Roberts, a Hesperia resident who was at the mobile home Wednesday, expressed disbelief that his friend would be suspected of arson.
"He's a good dude, I promise you that," Roberts said. "This guy is not a fire starter."
Rund is a UPS delivery man and is a former body builder, Roberts said. He added that Rund invested his savings to buy the now-failed business and went through a divorce about the same time.
"He's been down on his luck since the store closed," Roberts said.
