Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. For starters, paid requests are now reopened. If you're interested in submitting a disaster request, please double check the list of requests I most recently posted to the podcast, Facebook and Tumblr accounts to make sure your request has not already been made.

Also, please look through past episodes to verify I haven't already covered the disaster in question.

To submit a request, you can send a donation of $30 or more to the podcast, PayPal at disaster area at mail.com,

on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of

the disaster to the notes on your donation. If you have an idea for an episode subject but you're not

sure if it qualifies, feel free to message me and I can approve one way or another. The subject

from this particular episode was chosen by Casey, and I'd like to

thank them for the request, and for the donation. If you'd still like to help support the podcast,

you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal, Venmo, or cash app, or on a per-episode

basis through Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast. A per- per episode donation of even as little as a dollar an

episode can help me do things like pay the rent, keep the lights on, put food in my refrigerator.

And so if you do join the Patreon, you will get new episodes ad free as soon as I record them

rather than waiting until they are

released. So if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. You can also follow the

podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast, on Instagram at Disaster Area Pod, and on Tumblr

at Disaster Area Dash Podcast. And I still have to get the specific account for Blue Sky

into the script but it's basically a disaster area dot like bluesky dot com so it's

really easy to find if you want to look it up also please think about rating and

reviewing the podcast on audible Spotify Apple podcasts wherever you listen to look it up. Also, please think about rating and reviewing the podcast on audible, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever you listen to the podcast. As always, the sources for each

new episode can be found at disasterareapodcast.wordpress.com and in the episode description,

wherever you might be listening to me. The sources for this episode include a Charleston

Post and Courier video entitled Charleston Fire Department's Recovery from Deadly Sofa Superstore
