Fire

[Bonaparte]

A few days ago there was a big fire at the house of my girlfriends grandmother. Half of the house is gone, including a entire Duplo collection that would be mine one day . The pictures are taken by a friend.

I really like the contrast between the colorful Lego bricks and the dark burned surroundings (from an artistic point of view of course).

I like how you can find the good in the bad... Any idea how it started?

[legotrainfan]

I hope your girlfriend's grandmother is alright!

Sorry to hear you won't get the Duplo collection anymore since it is totally destroyed. I hope that everyone who was in the house is alright.

This water pump was the source of the fire according to the experts:

I hope that everyone who was in the house is alright.

Everyone was at a family gathering when the fire started, so nobody was hurt.

I'm very sorry to hear that, and I hope that everyone was alright.

Glad you can see some good in it though...

That is terrible... I would hate something like that to happen to my collection...

I'm glad that nobody was hurt. Isn't it ironic that a water pump started the fire...

God be with her, good thing she was okay. I see the artistic thing you metioned, too, but it's still sad to see someone's home like that.

By any chance were there any MegaBloks caught in the flame? That would be nice...

Wow, that goes waaaay beyond "The glass is half full."

Man, that sucks. Glad everyone was allright. What are they going to do? Repair it? Buy a new house?

No, what's really ironic is that the last house I lived in caught on fire because of a wooden fire plug... Don't know who thought of that... (Only damage was a wooden board)

[DarkYamiDragon]

That is the saddest work of art I have ever seen. How many bricks were in the collection, anyway?

[cartoondude]

So sad . A water...starting a fire? This is Weird.

Unfortunately not

But there was some Playmobil in the fire...

What are they going to do? Repair it? Buy a new house?

The most important part of the house is still ok. Probably this part will just be removed.

How many bricks were in the collection, anyway?

I never counted them. I must have been a medium sized box.

That's sad to hear.....luckily nobody got hurt.

Good to hear your girl's grandma is ok though, but it must be a big loss losing all her belongings.

Give her my best!

im sorry to hear that . glad to hear your girlfriends grandmother is ok.

all those bricks fused together... oh no, ideas are popping up in my head... ive actually done that, with old action figures. despite all of the warings of "dont play with fire", i burned off a pokemon action figures wings and while they were still sticky and hot, i put them on a batman guy. burning plastic smells really good though... TLG better start putting a new warning in manuals: a pic of a burning match next to a lego brick w/ a red X over it...

sorry, got off topic... again, sorry for you loss... of the part of the house and legos.
