and it just got worse and worse.
I went outside with my dogs and started banging on my neighbor's door
and they weren't answering.

I went back inside and just kept pouring and puring and pouring water all over the flames
until they finally went out ...


What's wrong with this picture??
WHEN did you CALL the FIRE Department!???

To say "you were LUCKY" doesn't do this situation justice!

And ... you NEED to buy a SMOKE DETECTOR - TODAY!
They cost less than $10.00 - sometimes FREE from your local FIRE Department.
And take it OUT of the package - and INSTALL it!

A FIRE Extinguisher is optional ... don't buy one unless you will GO to the Fire Station
and ask them to SHOW you how to properly use it.

Do you know HOW and WHY the fire got started?
What steps are you taking to prevent a repeat of the fire?

If you don't know what caused it ... another reason to CALL the FD!

Glad you and the Critters made it through this safely!
