As some of you know, our house in Campbell burned down on Friday, January 27. (No fatalities or injuries.) I've compiled this page with links to my narrative, my photo album and various links to the news stories and video. The only thing not here is the link to the only news story in print since it was pretty inaccurate except for the estimate of the value of the damage - $400K property and $200K contents.
Here are the interesting links for the fire:
First is my short narrative. I'm still working on the long narrative.
Here's the link to my Yahoo photo album. This album walks around the house on the outside, goes in through the bedroom where we were sleeping and then on to walk through the house through every room except the laundry room which was between the kitchen and the entry way. It didn't look much different than the rest of the house.
And here is the news footage... I'm not sure how long these links are active and I'm not sure how to save them. If you know, let me know...
