So, I'm at the Skamania Lodge in Stevenson WA during the worst snow storm since 1968. We had a good day yesterday, my mother, brothers and I. Then, at 1:30 in the morning we get a call from Camas Police, saying our house caught on fire and my father was arrested for "obstructing" the scene, when all he did was go back in for our pets. So, later today we bailed him out and now he's here in Stevenson with us. The fire was a chimney fire and the first floor is totally burnt up and the water that was uses to put it out has frozen in our house.
We are temporarily homeless now.
Not trying to get pity here, I wanted to know if anyone went through a house fire.

Yup, but at least it wasn't during the winter or a snow storm for that matter.
Here I thought my life was really sucking right about now. You've got my sympathies dude.

Obligatory: "Did your dog die like Jeff Hardy's?"
Now that it's out of the way... dude, you're totally awesome to the max like Jeff Hardy now, your house caught on fire! EXTREME!
Edit: Just to clarify, I have no house burning experiences. You said you didn't want pity or anything, so humor is all I got.

My brother set his room on fire a few years back by putting some shorts on his lamp to hide the fact that he was up when he was supposed to be sleeping then when they caught fire throwing them on a giant inflatable bed THEN when that caught fire tossing them onto a bean bag chair type thing.
The smoke from all that plastic and Styrofoam burning was pretty awful, and I practically had to physically restrain my mom and him from traipsing around back into the house while waiting for the firemen... goddamn my family is stupid.

Why didn't he just NOT turn on the light? Well if you ask my mom its because he has auspergers BUT I say its because he's never been one to think things through... he's also set a pair of underwear on fire by microwaving them so they'd be warm AND tossed a frozen dr. pepper can in the microwave to warm it up. Knowing him all his life as I have I tend to think ausbergers is one of those BS syndromes like ADD. |

I'd say it'd be wise for you to do a bit more research or exercise a bit more restraint before you start making blanket statements of that nature. |

Damn, man, I'm really sorry to hear that, especially with it being this time of year. But like people have said, at least you are alive and everyone is safe.
My older brother once burned up our house pretty badly. Nobody was there except him, and he was cooking something in the kitchen. From what he says, he left some grease in the pan on the stove, and I guess he left the room. Somehow the curtains got caught on fire, and pretty much the whole second floor of our home was damaged substantially. Luckily, he was okay, and we were able to repair a lot of the things. It was probably the last time he was living with us too, about '97 or '98 I'd say.

I didn't mean it didn't exist I meant like ADD or ADHD its way over diagnosed and gets attributed to kids who are just difficult or in my brothers case incredibly short sighted. |

my father was arrested for "obstructing" the scene, when all he did was go back in for our pets. I can't stand it when the police do something stupid like this. Are your pets okay at least? |

Our dogs were taken to a shelter, once we get something down in terms of a shelter of our own we will get them. Dad saved the birds. I don't know about our cats though. Thats what I'm scared of. I'm thinking most of them were outside, they are outside cats, but I know at least some of them might have been inside. In short, I don't know about the cats. I just hope to God they are alright. |

Bump, I got back from the lodge, and the house is worse than I thought and was told.
The roof is chared and the walls around the fireplace are now gone.
My cats are alright. Thats what matters.
