Yes. Its true. I had a fire a couple of days ago. First off, everyone is safe thank god and my snake room was untouched.
Everyone seems to be doing great.
I get a call from my girlfriend saying the house was on fire. I immediately leave work and rush home to find the fire department blocking 2 square blocks. My heart sank as I was prepared for the worst.
Fortunately my girlfriend smelled the smoke, got everyone out, and shut all the doors in the house. The fire department stated that if she hadn't shut all the doors we would have lost the house.
End result was we lost everything in our bedroom, but the fire department was able to contain the fire to the one room. They even took the time to open the window in the snake room to air is out. Awesome!
I guess our son somehow got a hold of a lighter and stuck it in a hole in the wall where cable used to be and lit it. The insulation went up immediately.
Given the circumstances and the outcome, I'm chocking this one up as a win.
You never think it will happen to you.
