Most things can be replaced, but people and dogs cant be replaced. At least everyone got out.
I hope they're able to get their lives back to normal quickly. You said the house was next door to you? Did you have any damage?

Thanks, everyone, it's really disturbing to see this so close to home. My boys have been brought home to their parents and I've been just weeping as I watch them in a huddle trying to make sense of what has happened to their home.
The neighbors are out in force asking them too many questions for which they have no answers. It's hard enough for them, I wish I could help somehow or other. Quote:
No worries on our end, big lots here and a creek between us, but we're in a melt today and there was a heavy fog all morning so when I smelled something burning, I wasn't able to tell for sure about the source. My brother spotted the flames a few minutes later and the fire trucks were arriving. It happened sooooo fast, and I'm so thankful no one was hurt. The kids weren't home and I'm thankful also that they did not have to see this happening to their home and their whole Christmas. They appreciated a little care package of coffee & kleenex, my brother took it over to them. I just don't know what else to do!
