Halloween House Fire

On Halloween morning, we awoke to find our next-door neighbor's house on fire. Here's what it looked like. That's as scary a Halloween as I've had in many years.

Unique music to accompany contrary images.

@Urnkneekovaks Well, my nerves were shot after that and I needed something calming.

[ockteby]

That is scary.

[kenrg]

@ockteby It was certainly that, til the fire dept. got here.

[Rikotistic]

That is sad. To happen on Halloween! Hopefully everyone is okay and their home can be rebuilt.

@Rikotistic They've been working it already this week, cleaning out all the debris. It looks like they'll be able re-do that side of the house and move back in within a few months.

@renetto Thank you. It's a nice neighborhood. Well, what's left of it after the fire, that is.

[renetto]

I love your neighborhood!

@garouHH I think I may have over-stated the reaction time; it may have only between 15-20 minutes. Yeah, up in the woods, private streets with no accurate maps (GPS will not get you here). It has its advantages, but services from the county is not one of them.

With the fire departments reaction time of 25 minutes I'd say that you must be living somewhere out in the woods, but that much is evident from the video itself.
