House Fire

The House

The Kitchen

The Living Room - where the fire started

This past weekend, on Saturday evening, January 12, we had a house fire in the home we were renting in Roland, which is just north of Ames. Everyone is okay – Nicki, Lilah and Ellie were there when it happened. It was started by a candle – and Nicki tried desperately to put it out, but it all went so quickly.

The home is still standing – but all the stuff inside was ours and it’s either burnt completely or has considerable smoke and/or water damage. It’s been a very devastating couple of days.

Can't imagine what it's like to lose virtually everything. When it comes to clean-up time, give us a call.
