Well it's no wonder the lady didn't want me taking pics of her house.... the fire marshall determined that there was a generator running in the shed and it exploded causing the fire to the house and damage to the one behind it.
 
Hmmm why a generator??? Their power was cut off a few weeks ago and so they were using it to run lights and a small heater.  How much do you want to bet they don't have homeowners ins either.  I will try and get pics of the aftermath later on today if I get a chance.




Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

ooooopsie....perhaps those fotos are worth some $$$?
Unfortunately, they apparently don't have any $$$ to start with, eh?
I can see someone being upset if someone was taking pics of a personal disaster like that...."How RUDE!". You forgot to mention it was HER house, but I figured it was....why else would she be havin a cow?
At least no-one was injured....especially a Fire Fighter.

Good grief. From the way it sounds she must be in hard times right now. This just piles on her bad news. I hate it for her but this probably would not have happened if she were able to keep up with her bills.

Thats too bad.... Unfortunitly with times being what they are folks do some desperate things in deseperate times.

Lets hope for her that she will be able to get some help.

Maybe there will be some people step up to the plate and help her out.
