    Debbie Royal heard the phone ring at 3:39 a.m. Her husband, Jae Guetschow, answered.
    “Okay,” he said. “We’ll be right there.”
    Royal’s first thought was that Jae’s son had an emergency. Then the owner of Royal Expressions thought about her mother.
    “Cakes n’ Shakes is on fire and the fire department needs your keys to get,” he explained.
    Royal doesn’t even remember the drive downtown. But she recalls what she saw when she arrived.
    “I saw that great big ladder truck from Madison and the four other departments. All I remember is the huge amounts of water being flooded on the building. I stood there and watched and thought, ‘Why doesn’t it go out?’”
