A community garden, a symbol of hope for some, is in rebuilding mode a day after a raging fire destroyed a warehouse in Kensington. Cheyenne Corin has the story.Right here is where the three-alarm fire happened yesterday morning. It completely engulfed this empty warehouse. You can still see some of that debris here on the ground. Fortunately, no one was injured, but this nearby community garden was damaged, and now they need help to rebuild.
"Due to the trauma and the crisis we’ve been facing here in Kensington for years, and myself being in recovery, I saw how much I took away from this community that I wanted to bring something back to the community that was a little bit of a sanctuary," Carpenter said, reflecting on the motivations behind the garden.But this fire almost took everything the community worked so hard to build."The fire department came in.
