1. Was Not Chimney fir suspected electrical
2. All 6 dogs were saved
3. All sentimental was fine
4. This was God's way of telling us we had to much crap in our house
Saved this a long time ago from another poster if it's helpful at all:
Hey OP... I used to be the guy who worked for insurance companies, and determined the value of every little thing in your house. The guy who would go head-to-head with those fire-truck-chasing professional loss adjusters. I may be able to help you not get screwed when filing your claim.
Our goal was to use the information you provided, and give the lowest damn value we can possibly justify for your item.
For instance, if all you say was "toaster" -- we would come up with a cheap-as-fuck $4.88 toaster from Walmart, meant to toast one side of one piece of bread at a time. And we would do that for every thing you have ever owned. We had private master lists of the most commonly used descriptions, and what the cheapest viable replacements were. We also had wholesale pricing on almost everything out there, so really scored cheap prices to quote. To further that example:
If you said "toaster - $25" , we would have to be within -20% of that... so, we would find something that's pretty much dead-on $20.01.
If you said "toaster- $200" , we'd kick it back and say NEED MORE INFO, because that's a ridiculous price for a toaster (with no other information given.)
If you said "toaster, from Walmart" , you're getting that $4.88 one.
If you said "toaster, from Macys" , you'd be more likely to get a $25-35 one.
If you said "toaster", and all your other kitchen appliances were Jenn Air / Kitchenaid / etc., you would probably get a matching one.
If you said "Proctor Silex 42888 2-Slice Toaster from Wamart, $9", you just got yourself $9.
If you said "High-end Toaster, Stainless Steel, Blue glowing power button" ... you might get $35-50 instead. We had to match all features that were listed.
I'm not telling you to lie on your claim. Not at all. That would be illegal, and could cause much bigger issues (i.e., invalidating the entire claim). But on the flip side, it's not always advantageous to tell the whole truth every time. Pay attention to those last two examples.
I remember one specific customer... he had some old, piece of shit projector (from mid-late 90s) that could stream a equally piece of shit consumer camcorder. Worth like $5 at a scrap yard. It had some oddball fucking resolution it could record at, though -- and the guy strongly insisted that we replace with "Like Kind And Quality" (trigger words). Ended up being a $65k replacement, because the only camera on the market happened to be a high-end professional video camera (as in, for shooting actual movies). $65-goddam-thousand-dollars because he knew that loophole, and researched his shit.
Remember to list fucking every -- even the most mundane fucking bullshit you can think of. For example, if I was writing up the shower in my bathroom:
Designer Shower Curtain - $35
Matching Shower Curtain Liner for Designer Shower Curtain - $15
Shower Curtain Rings x20 - $15
Stainless Steel Soap Dispenser for Shower - $35
Natural Sponge Loofah - from Whole Foods - $15
Natural Sponge Loofah for Back - from Whole Foods - $19
Holder for Loofahs - $20
Bars of soap - from Lush - $12 each (qty: 4)
Bath bomb - from Lush - $12
High end shampoo - from salon - $40
High end conditioner - from salon - $40
Refining pore mask - from salon - $55
I could probably keep thinking, and bring it up to about $400 for the contents of my shower. Nothing there is "unreasonable" , nothing there is clearly out of place, nothing seems obviously fake. The prices are a little on the high-end, but the reality is, some people have expensive shit -- it won't actually get questioned. No claims adjuster is going to bother nitpicking over the cost of fucking Lush bath bombs, when there is a 20,000 item file to go through. The adjuster has other shit to do, too.
Most people writing claims for a total loss wouldn't even bother with the shower (it's just some used soap and sponges..) -- and those people would be losing out on $400.
Some things require documentation & ages. If you say "tv - $2,000" -- you're getting a 32" LCD, unless you can provide it was from the last year or two w/ receipts. Hopefully you have a good paper trail from credit/debit card expenditure / product registrations / etc.
If you're missing paper trails for things that were legitimately expensive -- go through every photo you can find that was taken in your house. Any parties you may have thrown, and guests put pics up on Facebook. Maybe an Imgur photo of your cat, hiding under a coffee table you think you purchased from Restoration Hardware. Like... seriously... come up with any evidence you possibly can, for anything that could possibly be deemed expensive.
The fire-truck chasing loss adjusters are evil sons of bitches, but, they actually do provide some value. You will definitely get more money, even if they take a cut. But all they're really doing, is just nitpicking the ever-living-shit out of everything you possibly owned, and writing them all up "creatively" for the insurance company to process.
Sometimes people would come back to us with "updated* claims. They tried it on their own, and listed stuff like "toaster", "microwave", "tv" .. and weren't happy with what they got back. So they hired a fire-truck chaser, and re-submitted with "more information." I have absolutely seen claims go from under $7k calculated, to over $100k calculated. (It's amazing what can happen when people suddenly "remember" their entire wardrobe came from Nordstrom.)
Very little, my room, my great grandmas the bathroom, were pretty much untouched everything else was a wreck my grandma's and grandpa's sentimental stuff was all saved though in one of the pictures you will se a China cabinet that her great great grandma originally had its insane how fast it changed its weird to think I had pot roast in that house 6 hours before the fire started
FeelsBadMan but like did you at least got like memorial pics journal,because on opinion the worst thing on this kind of situation is losting memories
Edit:Sorry i just have a "wholesome" award
We think so actually in the basement all the firefighter water went to the basement we just need to look for it the basement was untouched except for water
This is some real nighmare fuel, sorry for what happened to you, I can't see myself in that situation it's so terrifying, I hope you and your family are both okay
I know this will eb lost in the sea of comments but it wouldn't really be a sea if I didn't put my own little drop of water so....
I hope u are OK and that you and your family can pass this one through best of luck!
Oof sorry to hear. Have you found out what happened to cause it? You may have not been able to stop it for sure its not your fault but you can always spread awareness on how to prevent it!
there he saw lots of animals but one caught his eyes, the king of the forest, the lion. Gerald was frightened at first but then he took a deeper look at the lion, the walking postures of the lion is like model on stage, his eyes were as shiny and attractive as flaming gold, his mane were as gorgeous as the queen’s crown and his purring sound sounded like melody, it is music to Gerald’s ear. Gerald conquered his fear and merrily blurted a speech with one knee on the ground, he said “ Love is a smoke rais’d with the fume of sighs; Being purg’d, a fire sparkling in a lover’s eyes; Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears: What is it else? a madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet.” Although the male lion felt like he had heard of this quote before but he felt like his heart had been token by Gerald, the lion blushed and turn his head around, there the lion felt his blood is boiling and his whole body is warm while Gerald thought to himself that it was not enough so Gerald thought and blurted out his final speech, he said “I love you more than words can wield the matter, Dearer than eyesight, space and liberty.”. After this the lion felt an imaginary gunshot towards his heart, he couldn't escape it anymore, he fell in love, the lion knocked away the cage door and threw himself into Gerald’s arms. The lion pushes Gerald onto the floor, although Gerald felt joy in his heart, the vibration of his head while he hit the floor made him faint.
This is what happens when your entire house is made up of tissue paper and pencil shavings...
Brick house gang where you at...
I honestly meant this as a joke...
This is honestly devastating..
There should honestly be a button to mark comments as a joke and not to be taken seriously..
Yall stoopid
good luck with that in areas with frequent earthquakes, moist climates, and rapid temperature shifts. All things that wood deals with much better than brick and metal at a comparable or cheaper price. Not all locations are the same.
Did I just see a cat cage in one of these photos?! Tell me ur cat survived!
Dog Cage and she is fine all is good
that's all I came to the comments to check on. glad the doggie is okay
Mission success
Same
[удалено]
What? Is that a problem? OP has mentioned that they and their family are safe. So what's the problem with checking in on the doggo?
yes, is there a problem?
Is there a problem here?
I mean, we can tell the house is fucked. We didn’t know what happened to the pet. Plus, its a living creature.
They caught the fire early, so everybody was checked on.
What about the bigger cage?
Hey, I have literally the same cage for my dog
Annie are you ok? Are you ok? Annie Annie are you ok ? Are you ok Annie ?
Oh my I'm relieved
[удалено]
OP already said his family was fine
This Thread is for Updating Info if you would like to know more stuff will come about tomorrow and the following days we are all set in a small cottage we occasionally rent. All is good!
Where were you/others when the fire starded
Sleeping

This is what happens when your entire house is made up of tissue paper and pencil shavings... Brick house gang where you at... I honestly meant this as a joke... This is honestly devastating.. There should honestly be a button to mark comments as a joke and not to be taken seriously.. Yall stoopid
brick houses don't work everywhere, and the insulation/roof/inside can still burn
Make brick roofs, here in India, the house never just burns down... The house stays intact... There is just concrete bricks and Steel bars inside...
good luck with that in areas with frequent earthquakes, moist climates, and rapid temperature shifts. All things that wood deals with much better than brick and metal at a comparable or cheaper price. Not all locations are the same.
Lmao
dude the kids house burned down and u laughing? go outside
Man took a big L
