Are you using Photoshop? The content-aware fill tool is your best friend. Takes some practice to use but it's excellent.

drat Tremek. Maybe in the cruelest irony the fire was started by the smoke alarm. :tinfoil:

Glad you and yours got out safe. I don't have much to offer but I'm local and if you need anything hit me up.

Hey, Seattle-area goons..

Wife and I are taking a 1 week cruise in September. Leaves 22 and comes back 29th. I'll be needing a hotel for the night of 22 (any maybe 29-30) and a place to park our car for a week.

Recommendations? Looks like there is LT parking near the pier which we'll probably end up using, but open to suggestions for parking and a room.

Check your smoke detectors, people.

So there's three kinds of commonly used smoke detectors. Ionizing, photoelectric, and dual (basically combining both of them). Most houses will have one or the other, dual tech hasn't been something common at the household level for THAT long.

The age of the house and local code when it was built mostly determines what you have, if you haven't replaced them (and remember, they should be replaced every 10 years). An ionizing one doesn't usually go off JUST for visible smoke - they're good for slow, smoldering fires. They pick up the invisible combustion particles, but don't always go off for a fast-moving fire (which is what this looks to have been). The photoelectric ones go off as soon as there's a tiny wisp of smoke; you can set them off just by vaping or smoking by them (or hell, if they're too close to a bathroom, and you take a hot shower... soon as you open the door, it goes off from the steam). The dual tech ones are the best of both, but they'll also false the most. Then you have the combination smoke + CO detectors; the ones I've seen typically use a photoelectric smoke detector + CO detector (I'm hardly an expert though).

Just gonna take a wild guess that they smelled/saw smoke before the detectors went off, I'm gonna guess they had ionizing detectors (and possibly quite old ones - that front photo makes it look like a mid 80s house?) I've been through an apartment fire where my smoke alarm never made a peep, even when the smoke was visible - I was lucky in that I came home and walked in to smoke in my apartment (before I opened the door, I was wondering why it smelled like fried chicken outside...); grabbed the cat and hauled rear end out of there while calling 911. My downstairs neighbor had been frying something on the stove, and forgot to turn it off before going to work - it was a very smoky fire that gutted his kitchen pretty well, but the ionizing detector I had never made a peep until the fire department was already there. And his constantly went off everytime he cooked (waking me up plenty), I can only guess he'd pulled the battery.

Newer smoke detectors start giving an end of life chirp after 10 years. Older ones (... like the ones in my parents 25 year old house, that I can't convince them to replace, because "they still go off when we burn something on the stove, therefore they're fine! :hurr:") just keep pretending to work. Sometimes they still work fine, sometimes they don't.

Motronic would know a lot more, if he happens to see this.

Now, everyone in AI raise their hand who's going out ASAP and buying a new smoke detector for their garage.
