Our neighbors farmhouse burnt down. Luckily the only person home woke up in time to get out, but with only the clothes on her back.
Please clean out your chimney flues everyone. This can be avoided.

Now that should be an ad for a chimney cleaning place.
Dear People,
This is what happens if you don't clean your chimney.
Any questions?

Yes! I said they should put a sign out front. Younger people that rent these old farm houses have no idea how important it is to clean these old brick chimneys.

Young hipsters? lol 'How quaint,' they think. And that's where the trouble begins, hehe. Glad they were safe :)

Ha. I found out the 18 yr old girl that was home alone had loaded up the fireplace with logs then feel asleep on the couch. That much heat was too much and lit the creosote in the chimney on fire.

Kind of a sad story :\ One that could have been avoided with like 15 minutes of Googling. 'How do you live in an old farmhouse.'

Yeah once you realize every one is ok and insurance will cover them, then I also think how sad to see the old farm house go.

So true. This house was nearly 100 years old. It's a big loss.

It's horrible, but we see several of these every year in our area and it's so easy to avoid.

I know, but so lucky no one was hurt. There was no time for anything except getting out. The whole was gone in just a few minutes.

Yes, luckily the daughter who was home woke up in time to get out. She was sleeping on the couch. She didn't get out with anything except the pajamas she was wearing. They are doing fine though and have insurance to cover it.
