man. u might not realize how much damage the fire dept does [View all]

when they put out a fire. they punch a hole in your roof to pour water in. they tear out drywall/plaster to make sure there's no hidden fire.
they open all the windows. 1 had the blinds down and they just shredded them. and the water! was told 1000 gallons is typical. they shut off all the utilities.
clean up crew starts tomorrow. the chilly weather is a blessing. not getting mold yet. if this was july the smell wd b awful. not sure if it's worth repairing. will b expensive. i've been thinking it's time to move on, but cant stand the thought of this place being torn down.
