We had a Fire!
« on: August 04, 2025, 01:21:49 PM »
Our Friday ended up bad, the building next to us which we are joined by a wall catch fire Friday afternoon, lucky we only got some smoke damage but the water damage from the Fire Department was worse. We had to try and air things out all weekend and this morning we are removing carpet and boxes of wet shirts and files, lucky we had pallets with a big bulk of stock on them.  It was a mess water running out the front door...Homer you bad luck me man with your flood LOL but all in all we're good just happy the whole building didn't go up in flames!

Oh man!  Sorry that happened!    Sounds identical to Brants fire story a long time ago no. I thought in the preview I was reading someone's new reply to his old post from years ago.

Most importantly, you are OK. All of the other crap can be replaced. You, my friend, cannot be. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.

Been there, done that, even got the T-Shirt. Nothing compares to the immediate feeling of shock and disbelief when it's first encountered, but it sounds like you're over that and now just have to deal with stink and the insurance. Glad to hear that for the most part you're doing okay.

I am sorry to hear this. I am happy you are not injured. Good luck. I am in FL if there is anything I can do to help.
When you dig grave will you make it shallow so that I can feel the rain?

Brandt you are so right, standing outside just looking at the smoke getting blacker and blacker and with two full tanks of propane gas sitting in the back scary moment for sure.
