We awoke to the smell of smoke at 3AM two nights ago. The attic over our neighbors' garage was in flames so I called 911 while my DH tried to wake the household. Thankfully, no people or pets were in the house. It took a couple hours to extinguish because it kept reigniting higher. One half of the house was badly burned, and the other half has a lot of water damage.
The police managed to ping a cell phone in Ohio, which belonged to the grandfather. They also found the daughter in the next town, even though I didn't know her last name. The owners of the house, however, are in Europe on vacation, due back tomorrow. They may have come back early, but I haven't seen them, and we're leaving on vacation ourselves.
The insurance company sent a company over to secure the house. Water, electricity, and gas turned off, plywood and tarp on the roof, front door put back on.
Everything must be moldering in that dark and hot house. Fridge, freezer, furniture... The daughter pulled a few things, but not much.
It's not really my business, but what now?
