Show Notes

Two families in Mesquite, Texas, lost their homes to a fire caused by floating lanterns, leaving them with only their lives. The blaze, fueled by a lantern that snagged in a tree, destroyed the houses on Candise Court. The community is rallying to support the families, including a daughter with special needs and a wheelchair user. The incident marks the first of its kind for a veteran fire investigator, who warns of the fire risk posed by these lanterns, which can drift miles before landing.
