Fire!

I spend a fair amount of time saying "no, Pennsylvania."

Had a woman call one night looking for psychiatric services, started going through the info with her. I learned long ago to make one of the first questions, after I'd established safety of the participants, "what town are you calling from."

I pretty much know all of the town and township names in Montgomery County, as well as many of the bordering counties so we can make the proper referrals. I get tripped up from time to time, but rarely.

Every now and again the answer is "Silver Spring."

A terrible holiday tragedy becomes a worse one with this being a murder-suicide. Shame no one either knew what she was going to do, or if they did, they didn't take her seriously.

Survivor guilt is a tough thing following a completed suicide.
