I was always in the "it will never happen to us" school when it came to fires and other major catastrophes. Well, I was re-educated one week ago today. Long story short, I was on the couch about to take a nap with my 7 week old son when I smelled something burning. The laundry dryer was on fire! I called 911 stuffed Frankie in her carrier grabbed my son and ran out. Unfortunately Wickett had gone into hiding and I couldn't find him. The fire department was there in minutes and fortunately the fire was contained to the laundry room. DH found Wickett later under the couch a little smelly and VERY scared but otherwise fine. We are now living in the unit next door and one day at a time trying to put our life back together. We lost a lot to smoke damage but it always could have been worse.
I'll probably be scarce until things get back to normal. I'm just glad I still have a little more than a week of maternity leave so I'm not losing any pay while I put things back together in our new place.
