Wednesday night, very close to midnight I was awakened by my DH telling me to put clothes on, the unit beside us is on fire. We live in a duplex and the couple next door started a fire on their stove and they couldn't control it. It didn't take 10 minutes for their entire unit to go up in flames.

Everyone made it out safely. The fire made it up to the attic and accross to our side. Had the firemen gotten there any later, our side would have been burned down as well. I am so thankful for them.

We have holes in our walls and roof. Major smoke and water damage. I don't think we'll be able to save any of our furniture. I've washed some of the clothing and I was able to remove the smoke smell. Sadly we will never live there again. But everyone got out alive and they are safe. I thank God for that.
 
I'm so sorry to hear of what you've lost, but so very thankful you are safe.
 
Thats horrible
So sorry.
I hope you are able to get the assistance you need to find another place and replace your belongings

:grouphug: :grouphug: OMG that is awful. I am really glad that everyone made it to safety.
 
Thank God everyone is ok. Like I taught my dd, you can replace things, you can't replace people. I am so sorry for your loss. Good luck for a brighter future!
 
I am very sorry to hear this news. I am very glad however that you and your neighbors are safe.

Did you have renters insurance?

Hang in there.
 
A house fire is my biggest fear.

So glad you made it out safely and also your neighbors.
 
I am sorry to hear about your fire. I am glad that you had some sort of alarm to warn you so you got out safely.
 
omg. Thankfully you were awake and got out safely! Hopefully the insurance will replace your property that was lost. I own a duplex and the same thing almost happened to us! we were living in one side, renting out the other. This was 6 or 7 years ago b4 ds was even born. we woke up to the smoke alarm going off on the other side... it was about 4am! My h went over and knocked on the door to see what was going on and was hit in the face by the smell of smoke and no answer at the door. He called the fire dept. they came, busted the door down and here comes the renter drunk as can be. He came home drunk and tried to make hot dogs and passed out drunk :sad2: the bottom of the pot was completely gone. The fire smothered itself out and was mostly smoke damage. Thankfully our insurance covered everything. Good luck. I hope you have another place you can go! Good luck. Lots of p& pd through your transition. Even though it could have been much worse. Its still tough.
good luck :grouphug:
 
:grouphug: I am so sorry. Fire is a great fear of mine. I hope you can rebuild your life and the assistance to do so goes very smooth. :grouphug: Glad you are safe!!
 
:grouphug: OMG, how awful!! i'm glad everyone is OK! hopefully your insurance company won't give you too much grief. have you contacted the red cross for some assistance?
 
Wow! I'm glad everyone got out. :grouphug: :grouphug: How scary for all of you. :grouphug:
