Few words can strike such terror.
Residential fires are, unfortunately, a common occurrence. Some 2 million American homes are in flames yearly. In the aftermath of fire, people are left to salvage their lives and belongings. But generally, saving food that's been in a fire is not a good idea. Heat from the Fire Food in cans or jars may appear to be okay, but if they've been close to the HEAT of a fire, they may no longer be edible.
