Back on November 19th, my car was broken into. They stole my headphones, jacket, MP3 Player, Thumb Drive (which contained my finals for my Hnrs English 111 class), some spare change, and my backpack which held everything I had for college.
I recovered from that event and came out with a 3.75 GPA.
Well, two nights ago, I stayed up a bit doing some last-minute modifications to my Hrns English 211 class essay. After that, I watched the last part of South Park while I filled my wood-burning stove for the night since it usually gets around 5°F out here at night.
As usual, a bit of smoke from the stove was in my living room so I opened the front door to get some of it out. Once I set the stove for the night, I went off to bed. Well, after about ten minutes, I kept hearing some creosote fall from my chimney, which isn't unusual. Over the next two minutes, it kept getting louder and less "creosote sounding." I then heard my cats start running around the house frantically.
I got up to see what was going on only to find my roof on fire. After I got my mom up and out of the house, I ran back in to try and put it out. I was successful in putting the fire out that I could see, but I could see that the fire had spread throughout my entire house in the roof. At that point, I started moving everything I could, outside.
The fire department got to my house about 15 minutes after I had called them.
Around 1 AM, the fire was out. Thirty minutes later, the fire department was gone. Me, my brother, and my mom went back inside to see what we could salvage. Needless to say, not much was worth trying to extract from my home.
Yesterday, I spent the entire day from 6AM till 9PM at college, the Red Cross, and numerous other organizations that might be able to help me out with this - seeing as how myself and my family combined have less than $200.
Currently, I am staying at my friend's house trying to piece together what's left.
Well, not much else to say as there is nothing else to say. We didn't have any insurance because the trailer was 32 years old and we couldn't afford it, so we are kind of screwed here at the moment.
Discuss if you wish, I will try to post again tomorrow after I learn something else on the matter and after I go back to get some more things out.
