For those that haven't already heard, one of our rental condos that we have in Vernal burnt to the ground on Monday night. I guess our renter had a heater in the garage and it was to close to the gas line and it blew up. They were on the second floor and so he went down to see what happened and the hole garage was in flames. He raced up stairs and told his wife to go get the 2 kids up stairs. He got their 8 yr old daughter out and he tried to get back in and the smoke was so thick he couldn't. The mom opened a window on the 3rd floor and said she couldn't find the kids because the smoke was so thick. By some miracle the kids heard the mom and found her. The mom had to throw the 2 kids out of the 3rd story window to there dad. She then had to jump herself. Luckily no one was hurt while jumping. Unfortunately there dalmatian dog did not get out. It is such a miracle that they all got out. the fire spread in a matter of minutes.
Luckily for Ben & I we have insurance. Between ours and the condo assosiations insurance, we should be covered. I just feel really bad for our renters. Unfortunately they did not get renters insurance so everything they owned was lost. They have nothing to their name and really need help. Any money donations or the following items would help immensely. I will give the clothing sizes and items they could use below. If you have any question please email me or call. Thanks for all of your help. I will send pictures later as soon as Ben takes some so you can see the burnt condo.

That is so sad. I'll see what we can do to help.
Oh my gosh! That is awful!
I feel terrible too because Kallee and I just gave a BUNCH of things to the DI that we got at a storage unit auction. I am going to see what we can come up with though. That is so sad!
That is terrible. I am glad that everyone is okay. That has got to be so scary. We want to help too!
