This was my adopted parents house. One of my adopted brothers was playing with electronics, and that is why the house caught on fire. I was a teen than, and in charge of 6 other siblings. I made sure that they all got out of the house, including dog cat and fish. Than made sure that they got to my grandparents house. Only to have to turn back to the house, because my grandfather had gone back to try and save some things. I had to pull him back out, hold onto him. That was the only time that I had ever seen him cry.
