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

As most of you know a fire broke out in the cabin where we housed our reptiles, the support from the forum has been immense but if there is one last thing you can do for us please make sure that your electrics are safe, so that nobody has to suffer the way we have. Jai wanted me to post these pics because she couldn't do it herself, she said that everybody has been so supportive and she wanted to show you, what a 10 minute fire can do.

Paul and Jai
















One of the survivors was in this tank.

The tank below was actually 3 herpteks the animals enclosed were melted into the plastic, it was a totally aweful find and one that will haunt us for life.


Thank you for looking,

Paul and Jai

I can only echo these thoughts. Very distressing to look at, I can't begin to imagine how awful it must've been for you.

Hiya

The object of this thread isn't to shock anybody although the pics are totally shocking, you have all been there for me and I wanted to share the whole experience with you.

Quick update on the survivors

All are doing well, we were worried about Kitty but she is now back home from the vets and doing well.

Jai x

Words can't describe my sorrow for your losses. Any advice on keeping electrics safe would be greatly appreciated.

as i said before, i am totaly gutted for both of you....and in all honesty cant even begin to imagine how you must feel! i hope the survivors keep fighting and recover as fully as possible! thoughts are with you both!....it is damn scary as almost all of my main collection is in my bedroom! and just shows how easily something like this could be fatal to us as well as our animals! certainly will be checking our electrics on a very regular basis!
