Oh no! Sorry to hear the bad news Glad you and your family are safe. I wish you the best and I hope everything gets put back to normal soon. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

I'm happy to send a care package with toiletries, snacks, and stuff you might need, please PM me an address for the hotel and I'll get it done. I promise to make sure it's free of unicorn poop and sparkles.

Sorry about you bad luck Apoc. The important thing is that everyone is safe. Material items can always be replaced.

Everything is great, I have my family and insurance so no worries. I'm going to try to tell the insurance that the fire burned the 6.0 out of my truck and I need a new one swapped in where the 6.8 is (no idea how that got there) but other than that I expect no issues.

Ditto to all of the above. This is a bummer but not the end of the world. Pics look like my parents house after they had a fire 15 yrs ago. Cleanup company will salvage some stuff at least, and the insurance should deal with the rest.

Damn... I feel your pain! I went through this in 2007 and had a pregnant wife at the time. Nobody was home and I was in Ohio working. Got woken up at 6am to my neighbor calling me to say the fire dept was in the house with smoke rolling out the upstairs windows. Tell the insurance adjuster to bring his clipboard and checkbook. I hired my own adjuster that easily paid for herself in the claims work she took care of. 9 months and $130k later we finally got back in.
