Nothing can ever adequately prepare you for the sheer, unmitigated horror of living through a house fire.
You might have a fire extinguisher in every room. You might have fire insurance. You might live next door to the fire station. You might have 911 on speed dial on your phone. However, none of these preventative measures can adequately prepare you for the horror, the panic, the sense of violation and desolation that comes upon one both as they realize that their home is on fire, and as they recover from losing every material possession they ever held dear, sometimes even including the lives of pets or loved ones. Going through a fire can take many things from you, but one thing that affects you as much as all of the lost possessions combined is the loss of your sense of security. The unthinkable has occurred. Your home burned down. It was consumed by fire. You lost your clothes, your furniture, your photographs, your books, your momentoes, and so much more – but something that you lost that will affect you as much as, if not more than all of the rest combined is the loss of your sense of security, of being safe in the world. Suddenly you don’t feel so safe. You find it harder to trust. You have been violated. Some people who survive fires struggle with nightmares for years, dreaming of holding their possessions while they begin to smoke and then burst into flames. Other people imagine smoke coming through the walls when there is no smoke. In fact, many fire victims actually suffer from PTSD and must receive therapy just to be able to sleep again at night without fearing something terrible will happen while they are unconscious.
