Sorry to hear about the fire Suzanne but glad your bother is ok. Fancy sleeping through it.

A few years ago a car crashed into a lamp post opposite our house. The noise was huge and the fire and ambulance were all outsde and most of the neighbours! Our youngest whos bedroom faced the front of the house didnt stir!

Thankfully the man in the car was ok.

Glad he is safe after the fire, but someone needs to give him a fire alarm next to his bed lol

I'm sorry that you're family have lost so much Suzanne, but pleased that you're all safe and that you had duplicate photos.

I hope that none of you will have to go through it again.

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,
