Tryce Czyczynska and other neighbors grabbed garden hoses to fight the fire, offering all they could to the Lababidi family that recently moved in. "That's what you do with neighbors. That's the essence of our city. That's the essence of being an American," Czyczynska said."The first thing you have to ask is, 'What would I need in that moment?' That why we brought them water, shoes, asked them if they need anything for cat, offered to take their gecko.” Shay Lababidi was overwhelmed with the neighbors action and compassion. One neighbor, they’d never even met, was one of the first to alert their daughter them to the fire.
