I am the tenant in Apt. # 3 and this happened in # 1 of Rose Lane NE Hutchinson, MN 55350.

This is the link for a fire that happened in my building. It happened in Apt. # 1 and I am it Apt. # 3 of 4. Please pray for my wife and I as we clean up the mess. We also need the L-rd’s help because our landlord is being very difficult and not telling us much of any thing. We had to contact the Fire Chief in order to issue a written safety complaint so that he could come here with the city building inspector and inspect the building from roof to basement. Our landlord, Dan Mattson, has done a very poor job of making repairs, so our building as become progressively worse as the years have wore on. I even filed an online compliant with the Better Business Bureau about how poorly my neighbors and I are being treated. You would not know it from the photo in the article, but the entire kitchen is covered in a quarter inch, or more, of very toxic soot. The building smells horrible still and we have yet to see anyone from our landlord’s insurance company. The smell has been so bad that we had to have our windows open all weekend just to make the air in our apartment barely breathable. Fortunately none of the 5 tenants got hurt because only one of us was here at the time and he walked out from a different apartment before it got too bad. Also, all three of our cats survived OK, except for being scared. The fire department had to kick in everyone’s door but ours because we always leave our door unlocked.

thank you for praying,
