Subject: Fire at Markos’ place
Hi José,
Did you know that there was a fire at Markos’s place last night? I only heard this morning. It didn’t get on the news but I heard from Jance that it was pretty bad. Jance said that most of the front of the house had burned down. Markos’ house was made of timber so that probably didn’t help much either. Because the fire burned down the front of the house it ruined Markos’ room and the living room too, ruined the flower garden just under the front windows as well.
I talked to Markos’ girlfriend Mary and she told me that the fire probably started around 3:00 am. This would have been bad if Markos was actually at home. He was at Mary’s place staying the night over. That’s why he didn’t get hurt at all. But his room’s gone and so that’s the guitar, his new bed, his PC and his radio gone too. And that’s just from his room. It gets worse when you add in what got burnt down in his living room, like his wide screen TV, DVD movie collection and tables, chairs and the coach.
The good news is that the kitchen, bathroom and the rest of his house is ok. But with the front of his house gone it could mean that he has to rebuild the whole house. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
The main reason the whole house didn’t get burnt down’s thanks to the neighbour who woke up because his fire alarm went off. The smoke from Markos’ house fire set them off. Markos’ fire alarms went off too. So the neighbour, Mr Tam, called in the MFB and they came around and put the fire out by 3:30 in the morning.
Also I heard from Mary and Jance that the arson squads looking into it. They say the circumstances of the fire were suspicious, how does a fire start from the front of a house with no real fire source around? It really sounds like arson to me.
Anyway, it’s a good thing that Markos had insurance for house and contents against fire. So he shouldn’t have too much trouble getting his house back together. But you know how insurance companies are, its going to take time for Markos to get his house back in one piece.
That’s why he’s going to be staying at Mary’s place for a bit, but her place is a small apartment and it gets a bit cramped with Mary’s sister living there as well. That’s why we’re thinking about having Markos stay at our places for a bit. So next week he’ll be at Jance’s place and after Jance’s he’ll stay at my place for a bit. If it’s ok will you let Markos stay at your place for maybe a week if he needs to? Markos will probably ask you himself if he needs to.
Your friend,
Stuart
