usually to kill in a room is easy, jut use water hose. but when fire gets into the wall, you have to knock down any wall or ceiling that might be burning inside, this is a very physically demanding job.
And after all fire is extinguished, the FFs have to remove charred wood from walls and take to outside. This techincal term is call the overhaul, again very back breaking hard job.

昨晚8：30房客电话说房子着火了，电话里都能听见救火车的警笛声。
现场来了近10辆大小车辆，15，6个救火员，fire marshal. 没人受伤。 living room 靠deck门完全烧毁。inspector 说房子不能住人了。断了水电气
红十字会也来了，给没地方住的房客发了毯子，800刀的卡。我带着房客在旁边hotel租了间房。
折腾到半夜1点多。
今天早上6：00，Fire Marshal 又电话留言，火又死灰复燃着起来了。他们又去救火，屋顶烧了一大片。

啥原因啊，是烧火做饭，灯泡太热，还是取暖器？

第二把火基本上把房子烧光了，大部分屋顶没了。
昨天现场就有人拉生意，介绍封门窗的公司。今天来封门窗，就带了general contractor. 他们要包下整个房子的重建。不停讲下一步怎么做。还冒出一个adjuster, 也讲的云里雾里，后来才说他要代表我去保险公司要钱。他们嗅觉真灵敏哈，闻着味就过来了。
9点火就灭了，救火队搞到11点，说找Hot spot。 还是没能避免二次起火
还是在帮他们找房子
封门封窗找公司做的话，他们向保险公司要两千，我和保险公司自己雇用的现场估价员谈，我说给我自己做我要一千，他立刻爽快答应了，给我写了一千的支票，我找人做只花了80，后来好多adjuster和建筑公司来揽生意，其中有一家专做这类生意的建筑公司说帮我估价，我同意了通过他们的估价我从保险公司直接拿了估价70%的赔款，拿到手的70%让估价公司提成了10%，后来我自己完成了重建，只用了拿到手的不到一半就做好了，按理说我们可以拿剩下30%但是我并没有按照估价公司的设计去修，但是通过了检查，后来其他事情一忙就没有再追剩下的30%，追这剩下的30%据说要提供保险公司完整的发票等等。而且有时间限制。
我被各种琐碎事务缠住没有额外精力仔细考虑这个事了。反正用保险公司赔的钱把房子修好通过政府检查已租给section 8的人了，还买了一个投资房，也差不多够本了。
工人的费用更是随他们说了，关键这是要钱的依据，我想只要按他们的设计表面上实现了，具体实现怎样就随你（这里应该是能赚钱的部分），只要inspector的检查通过，就应该能拿到所有的赔偿，我的理解是发票可能是保险公司要求的重要paperwork。让建筑公司做当然省心，我感觉真让他们做，他们会找保险公司要更多的钱，他们就是靠着这个吃饭的。
