Mike Bowes of Quincy, Mass., said he thought there might have been a mistake when a caller reporting a fire gave his address as the location of the blaze, WHDH-TV, Boston, reported Tuesday.
"It's surreal. You don't believe. You hear it, and it's not registering," Bowes said. "I was like are you sure? Are you sure on the address? I said tell me if you're sure cause it's my house."
Bowes said he rushed home and was relieved to find his parents standing safely outside. However, he said everything inside the apartment was destroyed.
"Nobody died. We can rebuild. The things we lost, we can get back. They're material things," Bowes said.
The State Fire Marshal said investigators determined the fire was caused by a neighbor's unattended outdoor fireplace.

911 dispatchers fire call
Since you're neighbors were not being cautious and not attending to their fire, it is their fault you're home burned down. You need to get them for every penny they have. They destroyed a huge part of you're life and they need to pay for it.
