Rapidians gather info and react to Kindel fire

Narrative of Rapidians' reaction to the Kindel fire. Contact us to add your own documentation
Underwriting support from:

We were inspired when reporters Nick Manes and Jenn Schaub contributed what snapshots and video they could about the Kindel Building fire. Elsewhere on the internet, denizens Grace Eyre and many others helped round out the story, stirring personal memories. What could we do to stitch together the story of what this means to our community? How could those of us who were there interpret for the rest of us what happened today?

Below is a narrative of the fire and its effect on our community. Help us fill in the picture: Comment at the bottom of the page, tweet using #Rapidian or send us links to the most striking info you've come across, whether as a status update, photos on Flickr and other places, or your own memories and what you were doing if you were near the fire.

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.

Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.

Comments, like all content, are held to The Rapidian standards of civility and open identity as outlined in our Terms of Use and Values Statement. We reserve the right to remove any content that does not hold to these standards.

Here's a YouTube video we just put together showing some opportunities we had to help the First Responders at the Kindel fire yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnwNcML8vkA

We incorporated it into the narrative!

Thanks!
