House Fire
Arsonists have set fire to mine and my wife's car.
the fire had spread into the garage which was filled with most of our belongings (we had just moved in a few weeks ago and were still moving stuff in piece by pice) fire is out now. expect absence for short term ~GR EDIT: appears that our vehicles were first in a rash of vehicle fires within a 1 mile radius of my home - must surely be arson. |
I hope you have an insurance, and it jumps in. That you get material compensation for your losses, is priority now, second is to get that/those bastard(s) doing it. Somebody seems to have taken the term "Easter fires" in a wrong context.

That's terrible. :(
Do you have any idea who or why? |
The whole story.
My wife and I were soundly asleep when the doorbell rang. I sat up, turned to my wife... "what time is it?" in an aggravated tone "4:30" she replied "are you expecting anyone at 4:30 in the morning?" "no" i placed my pistol within reach and answered the door. a fireman in full fire gear stood there looking like darth vader "where is your fire?!" :o "what fire? i dont have a fire! . . . . do i?!" he ran with commrades to the back of the house, i checked the garage. the entire left side of the garage door was aflame from floor to ceiling. i ran back outside "fire around back!" i yelled, by then they were unreeling the hoses we were ordered out of the house where we remained for almost an hour with virtually no information. toward the end of the calamity we were escorted to the back of the house where our cars were parked. my car is a burned out hulk, my wifes car - the passenger side is melted. as the scene was being cleaned up the fire chief exclaimed to his boys "dispatch called in 3 more car fires down the road!" and most of them left the scene declaring the home safe for habitation. appears that in a 2 or 3 block area - there were 4 car fires. I hope nobody was hurt or killed. |

I dont have any enemies, im brand new to the neighborhood so i have barely had time to meet anyone. |
That just sickens me. Honestly, wtf is wrong with wrong with some people? :nope:
The most important thing is that you guys are alright, thank God, but please tell me you have insurance.... |
yup i have insurance.
:up: i have been wanting to get a truck anyway - as a car is impractical given the scope of my daily operations. what a deal... Im just glad the house didnt burn up. :o |
I am just thankful that you and yours are safe and secure. Hopefully those responsible will be caught, tried and convicted. Had this ended in the death of one occupants of the homes involved - the perps would be looking at murder charges.
|
Man that stinks! I'm glad you and your wife are okay. I really hope it was just random.
|
What a pain in the nards. At the very least no one was hurt in your fire. Seems the perp is not interested in hurting people as it looks like cars are his thing to light up.
|
Glad to hear no one was hurt. Hell of a way to start the day.

We've had some cases locally where the actual arsonist was a rookie firefighter who set the fires so he and his crew could be 'heroes'. Sadly some people did die in those fires.:nope: Hope that isn't the case out there... |
Glad to hear that you and your family are okay. Cars are replaceable, people aren't.
I hope they catch the b*stard! |
