I think the news said it was contained in the garage, but the whole thing burned up with everything in it . Saying it was an electrical fire in the attic. Never seen anything like that .

Re: Ended February with a bang !!

Sorry to hear of the loss.Glad everyone got out unharmed though.Im sure things are a little overwhelming now but material things can be replaced with insurance.Lives or your health dont compare.

Ugh. Very sorry to hear that. Glad everyone made it out.

Looked like a fine working fire from the camera. Not much comes out of that.

Very sorry to hear about that.

I got a kick out of the news saying it was contained when you can see flames popping up all over on the roof.

I can't imagine the irreplaceable things you have lost. Starting out all over again is really hard. I feel for your loss.

Did you have a bug out bag full of the irreplaceable things? That really sucks, Aaron.

Sorry guys . Been meaning to jump back on here and update.
We’re moving forward in a great way . New home purchased and moved into . Far as places go , we love it better than the old place . Great view of the mountains and out in the country.
Insurance company did us very well. Zero fighting with them . Marcus, a lot of important papers were stored off site so that’s a plus . But everything else was a loss .

Yeah , my wife got a news alert saying that when she was leaving to come home . Something like it was contained in the garage . Of course , I was on the phone telling her it was not the case at all .

Oddly enough, my entire baseball card collection survived as they were in a closet that was untouched .
