JACKSON COUNTY, Wis. (WKBT) -

One firefighter was injured while putting out a Christmas day fire in Jackson County.

The firefighter suffered a finger laceration, but no one else was injured.

The Black River Falls Fire Department responded to mobile home fire on Spring Creek Road in the Township of Albion around 6:02 p.m. on Thursday.

When firefighters arrived, smoke was showing from the mobile homes window but there was no open flame. The firefighters attacked the fire from within the home and found the fire mostly running through the walls and under the floor of the structure.

Authorities say the structure and contents appear to be a total loss. The owners Benjamin and Deni Martin and their two young kids were not home when the fire started.

A cause for the fire is unknown at this time but authorities said an electric hot water heater and wiring are being looked at. The owners told the fire department they had trouble with the hot water heater earlier in the day.

The Black River Fire Department used 4,700 gallons of water to fight the fire, which took more than three hours.

The family is being assisted by the Red Cross.

VICTOR CALZADA-EL PASO TIMES Rick Lobato, director of the El Paso Community College physical plant, walks in a staircase at the college's Temple Mount Sinai building at 103 Montana Thursday.

VICTOR CALZADA-EL PASO TIMES Rick Lobato, director of the El Paso Community College physical plant, stood in the ballroom of the college's Temple Mout Sinai building Thursday.

El Paso Community College continues on the path of student enrollment growth and with it, a need to address undersized campuses and outdated facilities.

Preliminary repair costs for priority concerns are projected to be about $34.4 million, according to facility assessments conducted by architectural firms SmithGroupJJR, based in Michigan and Mijares-Mora Architects, Inc., of El Paso.

EPCC approved an $824,510 contract for the firms to create a master plan to determine the needs of each of its five existing campuses and what services will be needed at the Fort Bliss campus it intends to build.

The student population in 2013 was about 29,000 and is projected to be about 45,000 in 12 years.

"Initial readings are that most of our campuses are undersized," said Ruben Gallardo, director of purchasing and contract management. "We have grown tremendously and our space has not adapted."

Gallardo said EPCC should get a first draft of the master plan in February and have a finalized version in April.

Some of the issues he said need to be addressed are the lack of gathering spaces for students at all of the campuses, small classroom sizes, heating ventilation and cooling system replacements and restrooms and stairways that don't meet code.

Gallardo said it is unclear how EPCC will fund the improvement projects at this point, but the first step is getting the master plan completed.

Online user reviews have completely changed the way we shop and select service providers. I use Yelp religiously for finding hot new restaurants. I scour through online comments when buying clothes, decor, and furniture, to look for tips on fit and assembly. I wouldn't ever consider a handyman without making sure someone has vouched for him first.

But when it comes to things that are a little bit more personal--like finding a new medical specialist or a hair stylist who knows how to work with my hair texture--online reviews left by strangers sometimes feels a bit too anonymous. I don't know Yelp's buffmuscles2005 from Adam, so how can I trust his recommendation for an oral surgeon? For those services, I feel more comfortable asking my friends and family directly, yet even that method can take some time to find what I'm looking for.

New iOS app GemShare wants to fix that. This private reviews network lets you search for and share recommendations for local businesses and services, but only within a community of trusted friends and friends of friends. It's designed to help you find recommendations quickly by accessing your entire personal network at once.

Cofounders Claudine Ryan and Maryam Mohit created GemShare in order to store and save word-of-mouth recommendations. They had frequent conversations with others where someone asked, "Does anyone know of a good [fill in the blank]?" only to lose that recommendation later, or where someone recalled having a different conversation about a local speech pathologist but couldn't remember the name or who said it.

"We realized that there was no service out there that gave access to resources like this within our personal networks," said Ryan during a demo. Ryan and Mohit quietly launched a pilot program in September 2013, where 1,000 people from around the San Francisco Bay Area tested GemShare and gave tips on their favorite local services. Recommendations they log are known as "gems."

"According to feedback from our testers, we've found that GemShare has quickly become the first place that most users are looking," said Mohit.

Building a trusted network

When you join GemShare, the first step is to create your network. You can connect to your Facebook or Google accounts (which only looks at contacts--GemShare doesn't share any of your info), or just use your phone's onboard contacts. The app looks for friends of yours who are already using GemShare; if no one is using it yet, you can invite other friends to join. Then, set your location, and select local interest groups to join. GemShare gives you access to gems that your friends have posted, as well as friends of friends.

GemShare's main landing page is your activity feed, where you can see what your friends are searching for or recommending. For example, one of your friends might be looking for a live band for his upcoming wedding; tap on the listing to respond. You can respond with a gem of your own, point him in the direction of a friend you think could help, or just give a simple acknowledgement that you can't help this time.

If you're looking for a recommendation, start with searching for a service by using the search tool at the top of the screen. GemShare will search for your network's gems to see if anyone has a listing that matches your needs. Results are shown by location, but you can switch to view results by connection. If nothing comes up, tap "Ask for a Gem" to reach out to your network. Fill out what you're looking for, and leave a brief description with more info. That post gets broadcasted to your direct network and friends of friends, who can respond if they have a lead.
