I came home today to find my house filled with smoke - two dogs and cat coughing and spluttering so I grabbed them and chucked them in the car and called the fire brigade - apparently next door (who had also gone out) had had a new wood burner installed this morning and the company had not checked his chimney out which in fact finished in his attic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am now waiting for said company to come back to assess the damage every thing smells of smoke - at least it wasn't a real fire and and no one hurt but very scary all the same - just needed to talk about it - by the way - no real hunky fireman!!!!!

Thank heavens you got home when you did. Hope the fur babies are ok, keep a eye on them. Glad everyone is ok.

Sorry about the firemen! Hope you didn't have any smoke damage. Will you have to wash your stash? Good thing you came home when you did! Good luck that it all turns out fine.

Praise God you came home when you did! The thought of your fur babies being in that mess makes my blood freeze!

I am so happy to hear that no one was hurt! Hard to believe that no one checked the chimney :roll:
I sure hope that your neighbor has insurance so you can replace and clean your belongings.

Sorry that you couldn't have Hunky Firemen to add to your No Real Fire luck. Maybe we can send you some.

Here you go, it's the best I could do. LOL
