I was in the house when it caught fire…I would like to see you photos.
Thanks.
Is there a root cause analysis? another news source said that the residents were inside during the fire and came out when the firemen came in
The source was that it was a melted water heater. Both individuals made it out ok but the house is a complete loss except for some photos and silver wear. No one was hurt but just in shock.
