I would think that they would be wired even in 2003.
Things can be replaced. People can not. I'm glad they made it out OK.

As usual I agree with Russ.
(AND, Russ and Linda....you've been here and gone and we still haven't met in person. My bad)
But about this awful fire. It is yet another home totally consumed by fire here in TV. I don't understand how new homes can so quickly be incinerated! The paper said he was awakened by a pop pop noise and he turned on the lights and saw smoke. The fire department arrived in 3.5 minutes but still the house was almost totally consumed. We had rain last night, could it have been lightning??
But even if the house had been struck, how could it have almost burned to the ground? The picture in the paper was evidence of a huge, huge blaze. News stories that are usually broadcast in other areas say....so many thousands worth of damage. That isn't so here. They burn completely to the ground.
