It was his ruling that that the electronics (and electrical) in three of the twelve apartments were recoverable and that those in the other nine apartments (including mine) were unsafe and must be destroyed onsite rather than removed and cleaned, repaired, used . . . so the disaster-cleanup contractor listed, photographed and destroyed that machines including all cables with wire cutters, boots and hammers.Joe Bladeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126316965960488707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15062836.post-60450647331554129422009-04-14T21:30:00.000-03:002009-04-14T21:30:00.000-03:00Just curious, but you said you had to destroy all ...Just curious, but you said you had to destroy all of the electronics, not that "they were destroyed". How did that work? Some stuff would most likely be toast if it got wet and got smoke damage (scanner, computer), but some things like drills and saws would be easy to refurb to working condition. Did they actually make you wreck stuff to collect on the insurance? That had to hurt.<br /><br />I've never had to go through a fire, though I did have to abandon a house I lived in once while there was a fire extinguished in a neighbouring apartment. I watched from the street, but they got it out. But it sure does toss a major wrench in the works. Just the time it takes to deal with everything is exhausting. I hope things settle in a favourable way, and that it doesn't take long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15062836.post-26744947293230987702009-04-14T15:34:00.000-03:002009-04-14T15:34:00.000-03:00Joe, I'm so sorry to hear -- Fire is my worst nigh...Joe, I'm so sorry to hear -- Fire is my worst nightmare, and to know a friend has gone through it.<br /><br />Thank heavens you were able to save some stuff!<br /><br />Not sure if there's anything I can do from Edmonton, but let me know!<br />Alice Majoralice majorhttp://www.alicemajor.comnoreply@blogger.com
