To tell me that his house had been gutted by fire.
A man who lives two streets away was woken by the noise ,looked out of his window,saw the fire and called the fire brigade,where was my brother?
in the land of nod,fire brigade kicked down his door. :-D

OMG thank god he's ok !!!!!!!!!!!!

yes hes ok thanks muffy,its a joke in the family that my brother can sleep though anything,and it came true.x

thats awful hun
i could probbly sleep through it to

the fire started in the yard and not in the house,my brothers scooter was on charge outside his living rm window,it seems it over heated and with the fuel in the tank caused it to blow up,blew out his living rm and kitchen windows and set fire to part of the living rm,and he slept through it,would have been no good during the war would he ha ha :-D
thats three of us now that have had house fires.x :-D

Thank goodness for the neighbour.

What a lucky escape.

aw suzanne house fire is my dread, so so pleased hes ok x

hes here at mine now showing me photo"s that he took on his phone,
cant believe he slept through it.x :-D

Thats Terrible,........glad he got out OK!


a house across the way has been empty for some weeks now, apparently its " on the market"

last weekend it had a pipe or tank burst in the loft and had water cascading out overnight, for about 24 hours..........anglian water didnt want to know but told us the meter number, and we found it and turned off the water,
two days ago the owner turned up with prospective buyers.....

terrible state its now in..........

thats bad that the water company didnt want to know,water causes untold damage and gets everywhere..
Ifeel bad about my brothers fire,but im glad hes ok..my house burnt down in 1996 one month before xmas,we were left with the clothes we stood up in and nothing else.two yrs ago my sister had a house fire caused by the flue from her wood burning stove,it over heated,it had been put in by a so called professional,it guttet her sons bedroom at the top of the house and again no one was hurt.and now my brother,that only leaves one brother,so will be on the phone tomorrow checking that he has the appropriate fire alarms.x

Glad your brother is ok, what a lucky escape.

Suzanne...

Really sorry to hear this about your brothers house, how lucky is he to be ok, no injuries at all??

jude

,
Just happy to hear your brother is ok, x

Glad your brother is ok Suzanne x

So glad your brother is ok Suzanne!!! It's a blessing that no one was hurt, however, it must be awful to go through this experience and lose so much.

Couldn't help thinking (the genealogist in me sorry) - with all the house fires that you've all had, did you lose any family photographs?

Apart from family and pets, they are the things that I would be worried about losing most,

SECRET SQUIRREL
When my house burnt down i lost everything including family photo"s,childrens school photo"s,wedding album,wedding dress and lots of family china,but there is always someone in the family that has copys of photo"s.
my brother didnt lose anything only his scooter and a few windows,carpet and half his living rm.but nothing of sentimental value.x :-( :-)

Thank you everyone for your posts,luckily he was not hurt.and insured,
hes gone back home to live with mum and dad for a while. :-D

suzanne so glad your brother was ok , and sorry about his home, i hope he will be ok will he be able to repair the damage i guess if its woken neighbours it has gone to far xxxx

the main thing is hes ok, anything else can be bought again, obv sentimental things cant but id rather have my life than any possesion i own, even my most prized,

lucky hes insured too, x

Pleased he is OK Suzanne, houses can be rebuilt as long as he is safe.
