Nothing is more valuable

A Gary, Indiana man died today due to smoke inhalation from a house fire. As inventory service providers, we strongly recommend that everyone have a record of the contents of their home or business. Then, when you do have a fire, you won't have the urge to run back in to retrieve some belongings.

Unfortunately, this was the case. The family of 6 were out of the house, uninjured, when Nathanial Irby re-entered. I'm sure most everyone would state they wouldn't run back into a burning house for this reason, but when overwhelmed with grief, you just never know what you'd do. Having this information documented and stored off site would cancel the thought of going back in. Nothing is more valuable than a person's life.

My heart goes out to the Irby family, as they now deal with the loss of their home and a loved one.
