Another Fire at the AFL Shelter

There was another big fire at the AFL shelter last night. DAMN contractors in Kuwait!!!! AFL had an electrician look at the wiring after the first fire - he said it was fine - and a second fire started last night which was larger; this time, killing animals. That is all the info that I have now.

AFL is asking for volunteers who can assist in the clean up (and rebuild) of the shelter.

It is really very bad. The shelter is somewhat of a square shape with a courtyard in the middle. The fire spread through the roof,t he smoke circulated throughout; and there is soot absolutely everywhere.
