Rough day

[kpinnc 18,642]

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!

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.

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!

It is a blessing everyone got out of there alright, including the animals.  Hope the feline is doing better.  Thoughts and prayers will be going your way.  My father went through similar event last year and had to help him through the renovation.  You are progressing in the right direction having the adjuster already involved.  They will get things moving quickly.

So sorry to hear this. I can’t even imagine how devastating something like this can be. Let’s hope the insurance handles everything fairly and as quickly as possible. Try your best to keep your head up, not just for you but for the family as well. Best wishes for you all.
