Scary. I hope it turns out okay for your property. I actually just ran into a similar-ish situation with my apartment building and an asbestos-related fire. I'll get some photos up in my thread soon, the place was looking pretty X-Files for a while and I had to stay with a friend for almost this entire month. But yeah, with all those fires up in Canada, we've been getting the smoke here in the States. Northern Colorado was pretty hazy for a couple days.

Ya, all scary stuff. I'm still not allowed into the neighbourhood but yesterday a police officer did drive to my house for me to take a photo and give me a status update. I am glad to announce that the house is still standing, but has burnt siding and some damage. I think the cars survived which is great, but it will be a lot of work to get the smell of smoke out and get back to normal.
50% of the houses on the road are gone, some houses 2 doors down are gone. Cars, houses, garage, all gone. The road across from my house lost 11 houses. It's heartbreaking.

Sorry to hear of that.
Hoping insurance will cover the costs.
As for the smell, that will be tough to remove for a while.
Glad you're safe.
Hobbies can be replaced, probably won't feel the same, but a life can't be replaced, grateful for that the most.
Keep us updated.

Yaaa.... I ahh. ya. I still haven't seen my home or cars. Police and fire fighters have the whole area blocked off as it was the worst spot; the most damage. I don't know if I have home that can be lived in, all I know is that it's standing. This is not fun, I can tell you this much. I have two pairs of pants and 4 t-shirts and each day I keep learning of more houses / families on my road that lost their home. Everyone came so close to losing their lives, but fortunately no-one died. I'm slowly getting the impression that the house (although standing) will need to be gutted.

Glad no lives were lost, that's the most important thing. I can't imagine the stress you and everyone else involved must be under right now, especially the people who suffered total loses, hope everyone was insured. We are getting the smoke from that fire all the way down here in the southeast US. I'm in NC, the last few days it has been very hazy and I can smell it heavy.

Well....... wow. The past two weeks of not knowing if I had a home or the cars was horrific. I also have a lot of survivor guilt going on too. But minimal damage to my home, have to test the water but other than that I'm good. The fire literally stopped across the road from me and I have the fire fighters to thank for it. Houses two down, are gone. The dirt road across from me lost 10 houses.... , there was 19 homes on my road lost and it's so sad.
A 1 mile long BBQ tree area where the fire crossed the road over in to my area. You can see green trees in the distant...
Few houses up the guy took a pic of the flame while escaping which was 50 - 100' taller than the tree tops. Same thing I had seen.
Swept through fast! Left nothing standing.
Never seen blue trees before.
The culverts were made of plastic. They melted and caused the ground to cave in.
Was a nice house with a jeep in the garage
Two houses down...
How close it came to my house.

Wow dude…. Just Wow! I cannot imagine the stress, guilt, anger, sadness. All the emotions running through your head. I am happy your situation was a happy ending. I’ll be sending prayers to those families as well as you. You got someone looking out for you for sure.~Nick~

scary!!!!! feel for everybody affected, but you can't help feel a sigh of relief for yourself - and that's okay, dont feel bad. legit happy to hear everything is generally safe and sound for you, and it sounds like there were no injuries or anything, just a bunch of insurance claims, in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks all. Still waiting for the water tests to come back. Other than that, everything is fine. Not fun driving through a war zone each day, but was looking to move long term anyways.
Moving some projects slowly for the car.
- Got a dent / hammer kit off Amazon. Learned I suck at fixing dents(trying one on the hood)
- Ordered the FFC caliper bracket kit. The only thing left is to get the rotors
- There's always been a buzz/rattle from the back passengers side speaker. Really annoys me when the bass is a booming. I tried many times to look into this. May try to swap the speakers from R to L which I Haven't tried yet. Still absolutely LOVE the stereo system in this car.
- Still need to order tires for her too....
- Still thinking of giving her a new name too
Her first (2 second) appearance in a YouTube video which is pretty cool. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96a_cdKh_ZI
