just behind my house, fire just burned a whole fu*king house upstairs, i have pictures but i dont have my cable to upload them...


i was asleep and my folks screamed fire, when i got up i was about to go get the fire estingruser(sp?)


now they are tearing down the roof (chainsaw) as i write. ill show pitures sunday night or so

LOL. Yes, major spelling error there -- extinguisher

BTW, I am by no means trying to make fun of you.

Sucks :(

that sucks.

Hate to see that happen to anyone, very sad.

the house is RIGHT behind me, our house could of been set on fire and the house next to it, the two houses, our nab's and the house that was on fire were less then 10 feet apart

Heh... I live in a condo and a few months ago one of the units in my building was on fire. Kinda scary when I opened up my door to get out all I saw was flames coming out of the one unit. Good thing the fire was contained to the one unit... but not a whole lot of luck to the 2 units that are directly below it... they had a lot of water damage. :(

What's messed up is what caused the fire. The lady that lived at the unit was 'trying' to create some sort of hair growth tonic with various chemicals on a outdoor grill. :eek: :rolleyes: :eek:

Best thing to come out of it all is that I had an excuse for not going to work that day. :D Red Cross took all of us to a park and we just hanged out for the whole day there.

well luckfuly the house had cement siding, not wood and the walls are fire proof, i looked in their window and all that is left in the bedroom is the studs. it was only the upstairs but they must have smoke stains downstairs and water damage.

the roof feel in tho, and this is a new house built almost exactly a year ago (little longer)

Hopefully no tragedies.

only 10 foot away ? crikey, too close

hope the poor buggers were adequately insured

Glad your ok! Yes, please share the pics when you can. I used to be a paid firefighter, and am now a volunteer firefighter in my community.. besides... I like to see what the other guys are doing.

Again.. glad your ok.

I can actually reach out my window and touch the building next door.

Anywho, glad everyone's okay.

good job you're not in the UK, there is no fire brigade for the next 48 hrs!

:confused:

hey that sucks, my neighbours house burned down completely in an attempted murder, took a whole siding of my house as well, not cool. was definitely a bit hard to sleep the first few weeks after...

I'm sorry for those mixed up in this. It's always sad to see these things happen to people.

sorry not going home to maybe next weekend :bawling:
