Dang, Hope everyone got out, praying for the family

Family living upstairs had been moving out. At first I didn't know they were not there. Tried to go up the stairs but was too bad. Beat on the downstairs door and one of the guys came to the door and I told him to get out the upstairs was on fire and I had already called 911. Anything in the upstairs will be gone. Down stairs will mostly have smoke and water damage. Found out from family downstairs the family upstairs wasn't home. This same house caught fire about 20 years ago and they redid it.

praise God you were there to warn them reply.

What it looks like now is above

Thank God no one was up there. What was the cause, faulty wiring, or something?

Early Monday they called the electric company and complained about the lights flickering and they turned the power off to the upstairs apartment. Looking at the place now it look like it might have started on the far side from me. I would say everything was lost. Can't get up or down the alley for all the junk in the alley.

Fire department had problems getting water pressure to fight it.

Wow just now seen this. That's weird a fire started with the power off up there, wonder if somebody was using a heater or something up there for light and heat? Could have started also while power was still one and smoldered for awhile until it took off. Did your house sustain any damage?

No damage to mine, but the house on the other side had the siding melted. Samething happened to it 20 years ago when the same house caught fire.
