I'm so sorry you had to go through something like that!
Everyone got out okay.
Roommate was diddling a married woman. Her husband set the garage on fire and it ignited the rest of the house.
Home was pretty wrecked.
Quite a bit of my stuff survived.
Firemen tossed stuff on my bed (gums, guitars, humidor, etc.) covered it with a sheet of plastic and hosed everything down.
In the room I used as an office/storage the shoved everything in a pile, pulled the plastic over it, then dropped the ceiling and the attic insulation on top, then hosed it down.
I had no idea they did stuff like that!
The guy wrenching epilogue:
I spent the next couple days sorting and taking salvageable items to a self-storage locker. On the second night, while I was at the locker or the diner, someone took about a pickup truck load of stuff from the ruined house. Tools, computer stuff, TV (it was a melted 37" Trinitron, about 400# of scrap), and other stuff I has dug out of the ashes.
Mother****ers!
