A Blaine family is warning others about the dangers of ice dams after water leaking from their roof is believed to have caused a fire. What was once so familiar to Heidi and Scott Kingman, is now an unrecognizable mess. "These are our closets, this is our bedroom," Scott Kingman said, walking through the charred remains of their two-story home. "You see I've got no clothes. Heidi's got a few clothes on the bottom." The Kingmans have spent their last 26 years at this home in Blaine. It was on Sunday that the family home caught fire. "Smoke started pouring out the front of the house," Scott explained. "There was so much smoke that they thought it was the neighbor's house on fire." Unfortunately for the Kingmans, this is a pain that they know too well.
