That being said, that disconnect box had not been accessed since my parents moved in (2 years ago). There were no fire blocks in the house, though they wouldn't have helped much as 99% of the fire was in the attic.

Does this house have fire blocks in the walls? Id assume it was too high up and would have passed the fire blocks already. Sometimes though Electricians like to drill holes through fire blocks to service wires through them, and this causes fire blocks to be ineffective. Good thing your neighbor took the initiative to kick the door down whether or not they were trying to save your pets, they did. They definately deserve some thanks.

I hope you guys can recover most of your stuff! It’s good that nobody was hurt; fires are pretty destructive as it is. I hope you guys can recover most of your stuff!
