Our neighbor across from us, was cooking a brisket for his birthday and the outlet outside the house caught on fire, shot up the wires and started an attic fire. Thankfully no one was hurt. Sad day thus time of year

Good reminder for everyone to check outlets in older houses when running portable heaters, or to install arc fault breakers in those positions.

Our family is incredibly grateful for the fire department and for our amazing neighbors for all of their help with this horrible nightmare.

We are all okay and the fire department worked hard to save the house and to save many of our precious memories and our kid’s stuff in the house. Truly thankful.

Thank you all sooo much.
