Yesterday my parents had a house fire. They are OK, but shaken.
The Fire Chief believes it was started by the florescent lights in the Hair Solon. Mom lost her business, but not the house. The kitchen and the room above have smoke and water damage. The interior will all need to be professional cleaned because of the smoke.

Please have them in your prayers as they try to rebuild. Thanks

I'm sorry to hear of the fire. Thank Goodness your parents are okay and still have their home. I hope they have sufficient insurance to cover everything. Best to you and yours,

I'm so sorry to hear about the fire, but thank goodness your parents are safe and their home was saved.

Fire is my biggest fear so I can imagine how they are feeling today.

I am sorry to hear about the troubles your parents are having. Fire is a scary thing. Thank the good Lord they are okay and still have a home. They will be in my prayers, as will you.

Fire is indeed one of my greatest fears - I am glad the fire was confined to only one part.

OMG, M! Thank goodness they're ok. Sad about your mom's shop, but at least the house is alright. Tell them we're thinking of them.

Wow, everything that was damaged can be replaced it seems. Thank God your parents are OK and didn't lose everything. Thoughts and prayers to your family for sure. Good luck with the rebuilding.

That's a shame. I know how frightening a fire can be, when it's not in a stove where it belongs.

Glad everyone got out OK, but it sure is tough losing memories. Please extend my prayers to them and well wishes for rebuilding.
