Years. They were awakened in the middle of the night and saw the flames. They were nearly in tears as they spoke about the fire. We heard two shots, the shot of flame shooting high in the sky and we thought, my god, whats that. Probably cant be replaced. Im sure theyre insured but people with can not be replaced so theres a lot of heartbreak. It makes you wonder how quick things can change our lives. Reporter the fire quickly went to a fourth alarm, although firefighters got here fast they say that heat and flames were too intense to go in. They were alerted to the blaze at about 3 30 in the morning by an alarm company, and that was quickly followed by a 911 call from a neighbor. I dont get why a Smoke Detector or something wouldnt have woken them up or got them, you know i dont get it. I dont think this needed to happen. Reporter the multimilliondollar home is owned by don pile an i. T. Executive and fiphilanthropist. Neighbors say its a nice family. Theyre just hoping everyone is oka
