    Went through this myself five years ago. All that we saved were six cardboard boxes and the GS. Believe it or not I drove the car out of the attached garage of the burning house to the police station to report the fire. The dispatcher toned out the firefighters and a cop at the station told he would follow me back to the house. (About ten blocks away) I jumped back in the GS and he got in a cruiser to follow me. A crown-vic is no match for A stage one.
    The restoration crews were incredible and the insurance took great care of me. Today my house is better than it was before the fire but most surprisingly I am a better person for this experience. Losing so many material things has made me appreciate the true blessings of my life.
    You and yours will be in my prayers through these tough times

    Greg Schmelzer What are you looking at?!

    Greg, you and yours are in our prayers here in the flatlands as well.

    I am so glad everybody is OK, for the most part. As said by your friend, trust in God and He will deliver.

    God bless.

    I know how your feeling. My house burnt on May 7 of this year. The important part is no one was seriously hurt. After the inishall shock is over then comes alot of work. And i hope you had replacement value on your insurance. We didnt and it cost me $36.000. I got very lucky and had some great people working for me. in just 7 weks we had the old house demolished and hualed away. The basement completly filled in and leveled off. Had a new above ground basement put in and i work for a modular home factory,they had my new home sitting in place on June 24. We were able to move in about a month later. I hope everything works out for you and your famaily as well as they did for us.

    I'm very sorry about things, that has always been my biggest fear and I cant imagine what you are going through. Since I'm not real good with this kind of thing I just want to say that I'm glad there were no fatalities and hopefully things will come to order in a timely manner.

  9. thank you everyone for all the support
    we are cleaning things up slowly and separating the good from the bad
    several rooms are livable but smell of smoke yet
    the kitchen is a total now
    the floors all heaved from the water and the driwall and plaster fell off where the water sacherated them
    we cleaned up the carpet a bit and its full of burn holes of course
    some beams in the floor are going to have to be replaced as well as a floor
    some windows , my attic is destrouded after we finaly got in there
    i know it'll get better as things get fixed
    and yes
    God did bless me with only my daughter having her leg/ ankel screwed up
    so i am gratefull for that
    thank you all so much
    Greg
