Brandon Toale, a resident of the neighborhood, said he saw flames coming out of the multi-story home and firefighters attacking the flames from the outside. But he said the immediate feeling the fire brought was a sense of community.
'Mostly the conversations [among bystanders] were 'Do we know what happened?' and 'How can we help?'' Toale said. 'I think that's one of the best things about this community.'
