~ House Fire In My Neighborhood ~
My youngest son Mikey was out with a friend the other night at called to tell me there was a "huge" fire in La Cresta near our house. So I grabbed my camera and fire gear and jumped in the truck to go take a look. I wasn't expecting too much because the last fire Mikey sent me to was a bust, so imagine my surprise when I rolled up on a fully involved home. The fire was caused by an electrical problem in the garage, and it was a bummer to watch the home burn to the ground. Hopefully the family was well insured.

We recently had a home fire, and wish to help others through our experience. PLEASE SHARE with your community. Thank You! - Suzann Brucato
The classical elements of life are fire, earth, water, and air. What though are the elements of living? Having recently experienced a home fire, our family has learned what those basic elements are ... family first, then shelter including clothes and a safe place to sleep, faith in God and in ourselves, and food to nourish both our bodies and our spirits. We have recently published FIRE, EARTH, WATER, AIR, a family literary magazine sharing words and images reflecting our journey ... through the fire. We hope they help you find PEACE. - preview available at http://www.MatriarchJourney.com
Just an FYI, we were well insured, and our insurance carrier, while covering our claim, chose not to renew our homeowner's insurance in the middle of the claim. We lost everything in the fire except the shell of our home. Now we are paying for Builder's Risk insurance at eight times the cost. It is within the law for ANY insurance company not to renew you after only one claim if you home is no longer owner occupied and/or substantially changed from the time it was intially insured. So why are we paying homeowners insurance?
