So yesterday was a sad day for some friends of mine. Their house burned to the ground. Nothing left. One dog had to be put to sleep due to smoke inhalation. He was an old boy but it's still sad. Thank GOD no one else was harmed. There was only one person home. she went outside to smoke then, I'm not sure how much time passed but she emptied the ashtray in the trash in the kitchen and went upstairs to the computer room. some time passed and she heard a banging pop sound, and thought it was another one of the residents coming home in his dump truck. she went downstairs to find the kitchen and porch fully involved. she was able to get out unharmed, and the dogs as well. I just don't know how I would handle this. I'm very sad that they lost everything and have only the clothes left on there backs. I hope the investigation goes quickly, so they can rebuild.
Update - Preliminary reports show that this was an electrical fire. The dumping of the ashtray in the trashcan was not the cause. Hopefully Katie doesn't feel guilty anymore, she was blaming herself.
