Default The damage a fire can do!!!!! Plz read.

Hiya

I have placed this thread in general herp chat, although there are some really horrid pics, I want as much exposure, so that people can check the electrics, equipment and every other fire hazzard so that the same doesn't happen to you.

I would also be happy for it to be made a sticky.

Thank you

Jai

thats very noble of you, after all you have been through, its great that you are putting up pics, as much as it hurts you, just to help other people. since reading your original post i have checked through all my electrics, i am so sorry this has happened to you, it is such a terrible thing, its very kind of you to post these threads to try to help others. i hope you are coping ok, i cant even begin to imagine how you must be feeling, i hope the survivors all pull through and make a full recovery, least that will be one thing that will make you smile after all this. i hope you managed to get all the others sorted with equipment and stuff. i am thinking of you daily, i really feel so terrible for you and only wish there was something i could do to help. x

My god. That nearly had me in tears!! I think we should all take the time to check our equipment and esnure we have things wired safely and correctly, i.e no daisy chaining of multi-sockets!! I'm sure we are all guilty of this at times!!!

Bloody hell! I have tears in my eyes now.
Have you managed to find out what caused the accident?
I am really, really sad for you.
