Why did my house burn?

Beschermde donatie
This was Safeway and Grocery Outlet


My name is Jeff Woodman,
I am a 61 year old disabled veteran who lost everything in the Camp fire in Paradise including my online merchant business with which I was selling used clothes on Poshmark.com. If you go to my sight you will see that I had close to 600 items of clothes listed. I also had at least 4000 more to list that all burned. My sales just started to get going good. Here is my web sight on poshmark.

I was also selling merchandise on other sites as well. Altogether my inventory was close to 10,000, and the studio will be another 5,000 to replace lighting, cameras, props/mannequin backdrops, clothes racks/closets, totes and storage containers.

This is the third time I have been burned out of my house. I have grown weary of starting over from the bottom. My hope and prayer is that this plea will reach the hearts of those who read it. Any consideration is greatly appreciated.

I will be relocating to Idaho also and am seeking a medium size class C motor home, or even better a pickup truck and a travel trailer. I'm just writing down what would be the optimum situation for me. Again any consideration is most appreciated. 

That fire was extremely fierce. My friend called me around 7:00 AM  and told me there was a fire in Concow which was one ridge over from Paradise. I told him I was going back to sleep. Then he called me again to tell me it just reached the top of the Concow ridge, and while he was speaking the sky darkened like midnight. At the moment the sky turned black where he was it turned black where I was about 17 miles away from him. I went outside and heard explosions, but they weren't too close so I thought I had time to load some things. I managed to save my car and truck with some tools and papers, personal things. I also had box trailer I had just restored to make it a lot lighter, and we were ready to hitch up the trailer and the fire was seen close to the driveway so we just left it and my motor old home.

I got robbed three years before and lost a lot of my things. All that the fire took was acquired since then. I'm not a well off person on a fixed income. I have worked very hard all my life. I enjoyed hard work, but it has taken its toll on me and healing takes so much longer.

I was building this business for my children whom I love dearly. If you pray please pray for them because they misunderstand much of what I say and do.

After I finally got to see the drone photos I wished I hadn't seen them. The shock of it all is slowly wearing me out both mentally and physically.

God bless all who have lost in this tragedy, and all who are doing all they can to help. The immediate donations of food and clothing were spot on and overwhelming at times, but very well received and appreciated.

Thank you again
