It was the day after the fire and now comes the reality of it all -time to go into the house and see what's what...
Needless to state, it wasn't pretty. I didn't recognize my beloved home. The entire downstairs is pretty much a loss. The kitchen -where the fire started- is a giant piece of black coal. The freezer section of the fridge was MELTED SHUT. The fire had made its way into the eat-in section (immediately adjacent to the kitchen). It also went into the den and living room (where it was hot enough to meld some of the thermostat). In such a small span of time -about 10 minutes- the fire has spread quite quickly and did lots of damage.
The firemen had broken all of the windows in the kitchen and eat-in section as well as the sliding glass door in the den. My wife is probably secretly happy about that one since she hated the sliding glass doors :-)
There's heavy smoke damage upstairs as well as holes made by the firemen to make sure that fire hadn't made its way into the upstairs. The firemen did their job, that's for sure!
It all stinks...no, literally, it REEKS of smoke!
We've taken some pictures that I will include in a subsequent blog entry.
