We DID have a fire and we did rescue all 8 adult Yorkies, 2 litters of pups and our elderly boxer. Although the fire was contained to the back porch the house was filled with toxic smoke. My son lit a bbq grill which was on the back porch, the gas tank was defective and the tank actually caught on fire. We are very lucky that it didn't explode -- but the heat was so intense that the whole porch was destroyed, windows melted, even blinds on the inside of the house melted. We sustained over $100,000 in damage when it was all said and done. |
