It took a long time for the three of us to settle down and get some sleep later that night. I'm proud of my son for what he did and for the fact that he didn't go charging into that burning house. I was so afraid when he went running out of our house.

It looks like the fire may have started in the furnace/hot water closet in the middle of the house. The house is about 30 years old and I don't think those things had ever been replaced.
