Help
The good news is everyone is okay!!!
The bad news is...our construction van caught on fire and I had to call 911!! They arrived promptly and put the fire out. My husband used our fire extinguisher...but it was not enough. The van is a total loss as well as all of our tools. The irony is this is the vehicle we use to go rebuild houses that have caught on fire!!
So very grateful that everyone is ok and the only loss is "stuff".
Good News...bad News

Oh, gosh! I'm so sorry to hear this, but praise God that nothing that is not replaceable (like loved ones) got lost. I pray for a quick resolution, so that you may continue to help those who need help.

Thank you ladies! We do have insurance, it's a commercial auto policy with content coverage..so hopefully we are covered.
I have to say...I was so nervous, it took me a minute to remember my address when talking to the 911 operator! LOL I took lots of pictures...maybe there is a layout in the future!

Well, I do like the good news part of this and that you could put that in first. The bad news part of this is just something you don't need to be dealing with right now.

Sorry about the damage and glad you're all okay. The hassle is just to get everything set up again the way you had it. Hugs.

So glad everyone is OK! While stuff can be replaced, it's still a hassle I'm sure you hadn't planned on needing to do along with all the other house events going on!
