Just a reminder- Winter time is here and im sure the amount of fires skyrocket this time of year-Double check the batteries in your smoke detector!!! The minute it takes could save you the heartache of a situation like this. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

The residents of this property are in my prayers. This is terrible for anyone to have to go through especially around the holidays (it's terrible any time). I know that my dog is part of the family and just like a child of mine so I feel their pain. You and your dogs will be in my prayers. God Bless.

The second picture shows there is no meter. Upon further investigating, I found the fire department removed this meter for safety. The property without electrical service is further down the same street. I will get all my facts straight before my next comment.

This property has been sitting with no electrical service for at least 6 months. How is that possible? I hope the dogs were not hungry.
