I would be glad to donate hair tools and supplies to the stylists at Debbie’s. I am a salon owner in Clearwater and have some limited space as well. Will help with tools and product to help them get by with their clients for a while. Reply to [email protected]

Investigation over. The cause was unable to be determined. Arson and electrical issues were ruled out. Most likely from fireworks.
