Today the house next door to us caught on fire while both sets of neighbors were gone. Although the fire was under control soon, they lost quite a bit of stuff and both of their dogs were lost in the fire. Their cats survived because they were in the basement. We don't know what caused the fire yet, but it probably was small enough in the beginning that it could have been put out with a fire extinguisher had they been home. Several other people that J and I know have lost everything in recent house fires, so it just makes you think what all you would lose if something were to happen to your house.
If you need to brush up on your fire safety and prevention, here is a website that talks about all kinds of things that you can do to help keep your family and house safe:
U.S. Fire AdministrationJ and I will be heading out this week to get a couple of fire extinguishers and we got some new batteries for our smoke detectors today (we want to keep our lil' Peanut safe :) ).
