NOTICE...NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS POST! THERE WAS NO FIRE...JUST a little SMOKE! NO DAMAGE AT ALL. ALL IS WELL... thanks for your support!Duane & I were reading the paper, drinking coffee, watching the news....when Madi decided to take a shower. All good, U N T I L ...she turned the fan on & then we smelled smoke...& then there WAS SMOKE!!! So Duane went up stairs & I stayed down. I didnt hear anything from him & so I hollered up & said everything ok? And HE said...call the fire department! WHAT?!!! REALLY!!?!! NO KIDDING?!!??!! OK...THEN 911!!!! We figured that the insulation above the fan in the hall bath had caught on fire & the attic was about to go up....WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU SAVE 1ST?!! OH MY GOSH...THE HOUSE IS TRASHED & PEOPLE ARE COMING!!!! WHAT THE HECK AM I WEARING!?!? (ok, these are all important...really!) Madison...get all of those dirty dishes out of your room for petes sake!!! And so what did I do? GRABBED THE CAMERA OF COURSE!!! ...just keeping it real!
Duane checking the fan.
I've got men in uniform...
IN MY BEDROOM!
And more at the door....
Duane showing the firemen what to do! He's such a control freak. ; ) (thank goodness!)
Hey...we've got lots of room up here! I could use the storage space!
WOW!! THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP!
If you look
real close, I bet you could see the neighbors peeking out!
Really...Did you all have to come? How many of you are getting out of your "honey do" lists at home?!?! Bet you're going for coffee after arent you!?! SMART MEN! ; )
But really...its nice to know that so many would show up. Oh, we are in a "township" so these guys are all volunteer...so we werent really sure what the response time would be. IT WAS MINUTES! One of the guys lives here in the neighborhood!!
"So anyone for breakfast?" "Yep, I'm free until the game".
One of them even left church to come.
The one woman in the group knew the importance of posing for the blog!!
When the rest of them just thought I was a crazy woman with a camera! BUT HEY...
I GOT IT ON "FILM" for POSTERITY...SO THERE!
All of this craziness...& for what?!?! Bathroom fan? nope.
It was the furnace. Something about ball bearings...I'm not sure, you'll have to ask Duane...I was working on my blog post by then. Which by the way, took longer to put together, than the entire time...THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS HERE!!!
Enjoy your quiet Sunday morning! ....but you better put on some makeup & change out of your 14 year old sweatshirt & pick up the house a little... you never know what may happen!
