Damn that's awful; the only good news is that no one was hurt.

I'm happy to join the list of volunteers to help out; just let us know what you could use.

My parents home burned down in the early 80's.  My dad was a WWII vet in the Phillipines and the occupation of Japan after the bomb.  He had the most amazing collection of old samarai swords, officer swords, Namba pistols, rifles and other memorabilia, 2 bronze stars etc. All reduced to ash and twisted bits of metal. Only a small part of the items that cannot be replaced, but life goes on.  You will recover, but no one says it will be easy.  Best wishes and good luck on a speedy recovery.

You are probably numb to it by now, but I`ll say sorry anyhow.

The best way to deal with insurance companies is to avoid the need, but when the need does arrive, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I had a house fire before I was married in'92.
My best advice is NOT to call your insurance company...have your ATTORNEY call your insurance company.

Anything...just ask.

I can only imagine the feeling of a fire.
My personal experience was Christmas 07 I was called in to work to plow snow at 12:15 a.m. and went to the basement (the man cave) to get my boots and found 4" of water covering the entire basement floor. We had snow and melting for the few days befor and my sump pump froze and burned out.
Put the wifes X-mas present down there a week earlier.(Gone).
I was just down there last night moving stuff around and found more wood that was molded and stained from that flooding (more fire wood).
Someday I need to empty the whole thing out and start over. Now I place everything in plastic totes.
My best to you on the road to recovery.
As long as all are safe, material things can be replaced.

Times are tight, but like the others said, make a list. I might have an extra "something or other" that I can contribute to help ease your suffering.
