FIRE!!

[buzzsaw]

Saturday night/Sunday early AM our next door neighbors had a fire, this fire began in the chimney. Nobody was hurt, but what started out as a seemingly small fire finished as a major interior home destruction as the water and smoke damage is bad. I have processed one image and more will follow. (this one reminds me of a 911 image on a smaller scale)

Nobody likes to see someone lose a house, especially in this economy and my prayers are with those homeowners. [Note from admin: Please see forum rules before posting again. Thank you]

That's a good image, Buzz. It's very hard to take images that involve destruction of people's homes/property. It's a tough situation. I think you did well. Thank God no one was hurt.

They are all well and in good spirits amazingly! No personal belongings were lost that they were disappointed losing. The cleanup has begun and are told it will be 3-6 months before they will be able to move back home. There insurance company is taking care of them in the meantime. All of us neighbors are doing things to help them out... I am going to be doing there lawncare this spring/summer... we are also offering up our home as a location for their sons H.S. Graduation party.

Anyways, here are the remainder of the exterior images.

Good to hear they are being taken care of.

Kudos to you for offering to host their son's graduation party. Sounds like you have a good group of neighbors.
