Well this fire we had started in our bathroom and was from the heater that is in the ceiling.. Sounds harmless... Should not have caught fire but did! So after that burned up and started burning stuff (insulation, and some 2x6) in the attic... It burned pretty good! They took down the whole ceiling in our bathroom and then the smoke filled the whole house so everyone had to get out!
Then while out side the house we saw all the fireman get suited up in their oxygen tanks and full suits... The kids then got concerned and asked if everything was ok... Though it was they were still scared!
Then they brought out the big hose and marched up the stairs with it and turned it on.... I thought flood here we come.... But they used very little water. So it wasn't bad! Needles to say the aftermath was a disaster... Smoke and debris was all over the bathroom and all over the living room.... and my closet is were the access is to the attic... well now all my clothes smell like fire! :( now I have a whole bunch of laundry!
It took them 4 hours to get all flames (small ones) taken down and everything secured!
We had 6 fire trucks about 15 firemen and 8 very concerned neighbors not just about their own homes but about us... How nice! I love the community we live in where people actually care about their fellow neighbors!
We left the day of the fire to air out our house and went to the beach for the day! Nice escape from a very crazy and scary morning!
I am just glad it was caught when it did!
Thank God that everyone was safe! But it's also a good eye opener that we need to do a fire drill!
