Hello friends

Last Saturday my house caught on fire and it destroyed the attached garage

Nobody was hurt

Just caused me a lot of work, time and money

Insurance fire investigator said the fire resulted from a battery charger. I knew that cause I had just plugged it in and 15 minutes later my son was calling my phone to say he smelled smoke.

The fire was too big for him to extiguish.

I turned my truck around, drove a mile home and called the fire department. Huntsville fire department is less than a mile from my house and it took them 13 minutes to arrive. The Huntsville fire investigator wrote it up as unknown or undetermined cause even though Stevie Wonder could have figured it out. While he inspected the scene he told me that's what the cause was but he played dumb in his report.

Is there anything I should know? I have no experience with this stuff and don't trust my insurance company called Openly. It's been aggravating. I'm dealing with the insurance structure damage guy, the insurance property loss woman, the man over my claim, today I dealt with the insurance investigator. Next week they are sending the personal property loss people to my house.

My garage is a mess. My living room and dining room is damaged. I'm having to wash clothes at the laundry mat. My mower and everything got damaged. My boat wasn't damaged cause I had just left it in the yard and now I don't have a place to store it. Insurance company said to send information about a storage unit so they might pay for it. I'm thankful I can still live here and me and my son and dog are fine. it's just a hassle that I didn't want. Again, is there anything I should do or know? I think I better get some quotes myself for repairs? Thanks for any advice y'all!
