Wallis House Fire Damage
Back to Maria Yang's Home Page
On December 22, 2006 a two-alarm fire took place at the Wallis' duplex. Their shared garage completely burned, vehichles got damaged and the inside of their house was covered with soot. Most of their belongings (furniture, clothes, books, etc) are no longer usable and have to be disposed of due to toxicity. Fortunately for the Wallis, they have some insurance to help them.
I did not realize the extent of the loss until I went there and saw it myself and decided to take some pictures since it was quite unreal. With Rachelle's permission, here are some of the pictures that might give you an idea of the extent of the damage and loss.
