Olson house fire

On the late afternoon of January 9, our lights started to flicker so Nate quickly went to the basement door to go to the basement where the electric box is located. When opening the basement door he was greeted by smoke and flames. We got both kids and Rubble out to the car. Nate and I tried to find a fire extinguisher but all Nate could find was the fire extinguisher from our camper with an expiration of probably 1981 (the year of our camper). We are trying to find the humor when and where we can. We literally ran out of the house with the tshirts and shorts we had on (each of us had summer style clothes on as we were lounging and getting ready to watch some football ).

Unfortunately, due to the age and electric in the house was old and we couldn't get an electrician to update our electric and in turn it left us without homeowners insurance. That is where the cost will be impacting us.

We appreciate all of the outpouring of support so far. Our house is a total loss, but we are hoping to be able to salvage clothes and hard wood furniture. We will need help finding a rental house in the Colman area that is pet friendly until we can get our house replacement in.

We will be using any funds for demolition of our house and bring in a new house for our property.

We are not the people that ask for help, this is hard for us asking for help.

 

If you are unable to provide financially, please say an extra prayer for us, especially for our kids. We are trying to keep as much normalcy as possible.
