  1. This was my home,the fire started in the attic due to old electric wiring in the attic, we were all home when the fire started. But everyone got out ok.but now it is unlivable unfortunately. And we are not sure what we are going to do or where we are going to sleep, but hopefully things will work out, and we’ll find somewhere to go soon.
