Ummmm according to the fire marshall that was a gas fireplace that was "converted" into a wood burning fire place. It had insulation and wiring around the walls of the chiminey. The fire started under and behind the fire box where I couldnt get to it with the fire extigiusher

Scott I have the most upmost respect for you and every other fire fighter out there. The reason why is because of this...... Yes that is my house. No it wasnt our fault that this happened. The fire fighters were on scene in 5 mins and had the fire contained in less than 30 mins. They saved the house and most of our belongings including our 3 cats and 1 dog. There are more pics that you can look thru of all the damage here

Ok sorry yea I just went and looked at the rest of the pics. Didn't realize it gt into attic and rafters. I hope they take care of ya. Props to fd for getting and saving it, once it hits the attic and starts climbing in walls, it's tough. Good job on their part. Is it a vollie dept or paid?

Geez...it's not until you see these kinds of things or go through them firsthand that you realize how valuable the FD is. That house is salvageable because of them. Hope things clear up for you and you get a little more of the good luck instead of the bad.

The sad thing is. The gas and water company showed p to turn off the water and gas to the house and they failed to do it. They were fighting this fire right next to that water heater with gas still being supplied to it. If it would have blown it would have possibly taken out the neighborhood at most or the neighbors at least. The gas and water didnt get turned off till the plumber showed up that evening to winterize the house to keep the pipes from freezing.

Little crazier than at home but it depends what part of home you're comparing it to. It's a lot like around the U. But holy crap there's a ton of speed bumps!!
