kpinnc 18,633 #1 Posted 5 hours ago (edited) My home caught fire this afternoon. No one was injured (one cat had some smoke inhalation) but the house is not habitable. Shockingly, my garage area and tractors was the only part that recieved no damage. The fire was in the attic, and only two rooms were badly burned. Unfortunately the rest of the damage came from putting it out. Ceilings were pulled down and tonight when I left, whatever wasn't torn down was falling from all the water required to put it out. Not sure what comes next but I ask that those of you who believe will keep my family in your prayers. It's gonna be tough for a while on us just having somewhere to call home. And thank God for first responders. They were on site 2 minutes after I called 911. Amazing individuals! And thanks ahead of time for the prayers. The fact that my family is safe is a blessing in itself! Edited 5 hours ago by kpinnc 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,717 #3 Posted 1 hour ago So sorry to hear this. I went through the same thing about 7-8 years ago. Get insurance company involved right away as they have companies that can come help mitigate the damage and dry things out. In the end you will have all new and back to normal. Prayers your way buddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prayers your way buddy. Thanks Steve. I'm supposed to hear from an adjuster later today. Hopefully they can help me navigate our next move. Helpless doesn't cover the feeling right now. When we left at midnight water was still dripping everywhere. The insurance lady I spoke with was talking tarps and plywood and just didn't understand until I told her that you can see stars in every room. A tarp isn't gonna work for this. Once we get some answers things will be better. Thanks again for the prayers! Edited 52 minutes ago by kpinnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
