One Seattle family is thankful to be alive and unharmed after a fire destroyed their house and the heirlooms and photographs in it. The one item that survived? Their Seahawks flag.

The story was reported on by King 5 and talks about how the house of Debbie and Cliff Blumenthal burned down after a minor chimney fire quickly spread to the rest of the house. Their son, Jeff Marsh, who is a photographer for the Seattle Seahawks, learned of the incident while working Saturday’s wild-card game between the Seahawks and the Detroit Lions.

“I got a text from my wife that said that ‘everything is ok, but you need to call me right now,’” said Marsh, who is the son of Debbie and Cliff.

The firefighters may have been able to extinguish the fire sooner, but East Pierce Fire and Rescue couldn’t find a fire hydrant nearby, so had to truck water to the scene of the fire, Asst. Chief Jim Jaques said on Monday.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and the Seahawks flag remained intact, with just a little soot on it.

“We couldn’t believe that was still intact, so I, of course, had to hang it there,” Marsh said.

Marsh said the house is insured, and I’m sure when it is rebuilt, they’ll find a new spot for their Seahawks flag to fly.
