It seems that when it rains it pours... bad things come in threes I am told. I really don't want to know what is next!!
I am on vacation in Arizona right now, I get a phone call this morning from my mother telling me that "she would not call me on my cell out of country if it wasnt an emergency." First thing I think of is my grandfather has passed or something of the sort. Nothing like that though. Unfortunately a fire started in our recroom while we were away and burnt out our basement, the rest of the house has been ruined by smoke and soot damage. The fire captain told my mother that nobody would have survived this fire, as the CO content was so high that nobody would have woken up. The FD also told my mother that if she had not shut our rec room door last night the whole house would have went.
It is sad news, but we are all alive, and by some twist of fate we decided to kennel our dog instead of leaving him at our house with my mother staying there instead of at her place. Material things can be replaced and cleaned, but lives would have been lost forever...
Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers please. I am not asking for anything at all, but if a mod wants to contact me I can provide them with the FD report number as well as the phone number where things can be verified given certian past events with others on the board.
Prayers to all, hug your loved ones tonight...
