The lady of the house where we were visiting woke me up and told me she smelled smoke. I got up and went to the back of the trailer house and discovered the water heater area was engulfed in flames. I roused my wife and the lady woke up her husband. I got the kids out to one of the cars and counted them. Later my daughter told me they were counted by all four adults.
Some one called the fire department. While we were waiting the adults started carrying things out of the house hoping we could save somethings. Then I noticed the other adults were coughing. To my surprise none of them were bending over to stay below the smoke. The smoke was a heavy layer about four and a half feet above the floor.
So if you're doing that in a fire bend over.
Another thing, I think it was last year, is a first responder pulled a woman from an car at a collision scene. She was so badly mutilated he didn't realize it was his own daughter. What happened is she was struck from behind knocking her car into the oncoming lane of highway traffic.
This reminded me to keep your steering wheels straight until you actually start moving forward.

Keep fire extinguishers in the house.
If you're going to an area where you think you might need a gun, don't go.
Have an emergency bag with enough food, medicine, flashlights, and such for three days.
Wear your seatbelts.
Be not weary in well doing.

1. if the house smells of gas, don't test it with a match. 2. If the dog starts barking at something, there is probably something wrong. 3. If the cat starts furiously meowing at you, there is something wrong. As in she warned me of a gas smell last night

Glad you guys got out. Now the question--Why did the wife of the other guy wake you up and not her husband?

DON'T F'ing GO BACK IN FOR "STUFF"! This. Totally. Anyone that goes back into a fire for anything is beyond stupid. If you inhale 2 good breathes of toxic smoke you are unconscious. IE you are dead unless damn lukcy that a fire figther finds you. I was amazed at this statistic of 2 breaths while in fire school.

Question--why did the other guys wife wake you up and not her husband? One time her husband came to visit. We had a large wood burning stove. We sat down near it and he put is feet up on the stove while we enjoyed shooting the breeze. In a few minutes he asked, "What is that I smell burning?" Another time he was visiting when I was gathering poles about fifteen feet long. He wanted to help me and the other guy. He went to the middle. On three we lifted. Almost immediatley the pole got really heavy and he called out "uag" and fell over. He straddled the pole !The night of the fire, after he was outside he yanked off the skirting. With that action the flames roared up inside the house.

This isn't a real story, is it? Yes. Sooo, yes it isn't a real story? The story is quite true. The characters are all real. Both couples are still married to the same person. The idea of not going back into a burning house is a great suggestion. I will not do that again unless it is to save a person not a thing.

We went to the woods and cut down permitted dead trees for firewood. After limbing them we would buck them into eight foot length and carry them on a shoulder back to the truck. I was in the best shape of my life.

You were unemployed because the guy who bounced your paychecks - and your wife's paychecks because you were fool enough to get her hired by the same place that already didn't honor paying their employees... and then you went and worked for the same guy again? Here's your sign.....

[quote=Steelhead]Holy Christ, you can't make that kind of stupid up. OMG, its been awhile since I was in trailer park country. Forgot about that... Trailers are tinderboxes. Nothing in a trailer nor house is worth dying for. Everything will be BADLY smoke damaged. Thank God everybody survived. [/quote 1.5" framing does not hold up against heat very well.....

The lady of the house where we were visiting woke me up and told me she smelled smoke. I got up and went to the back of the trailer house and discovered the water heater area was engulfed in flames. I roused my wife and the lady woke up her husband. I got the kids out to one of the cars and counted them. Later my daughter told me they were counted by all four adults.
Some one called the fire department. While we were waiting the adults started carrying things out of the house hoping we could save somethings. Then I noticed the other adults were coughing. To my surprise none of them were bending over to stay below the smoke. The smoke was a heavy layer about four and a half feet above the floor.
So if you're doing that in a fire bend over.
Another thing, I think it was last year, is a first responder pulled a woman from an car at a collision scene. She was so badly mutilated he didn't realize it was his own daughter. What happened is she was struck from behind knocking her car into the oncoming lane of highway traffic.
This reminded me to keep your steering wheels straight until you actually start moving forward.
Anyone have more to add? Woke to the smell of smoke? Not the smoke alarm going off? Any smoke alarms installed?

Ain't no smoke alarms in the trailer park! Correct, but there may be a few alarms... heat sensitive though, not smoke alarms. John

Holy Christ, you can't make that kind of stupid up. Ringman can and does quite often. Bigbuck, you are such a good Christian, I can hardly believe your gentleness and kindness. Good Christian? Is there a difference in what you call a good Christian and a bad Christian? Definition of both in the bible? I was being facetious. Do you appeal to the Bible because you believe It to be True? There are no bad Christians.

So you came here to troll about something that happened 40 years ago, as if it were a couple of days ago? What was your point? Attention?

He must be a slow learner as well... Allowing others to go back into a burning house, and not knowing that smoke at standing level would kill everyone.

Lemmee see if I get this....
The lady of the house is married to a firefighter.
She wakes to the smell of smoke.
She wakes you rather than her FF husband?
OK, give the punchline now.

Smoke detectors date back to pre 1900, the basis of the version we still use to this day since something like the late 1930's. Been a while since I was in fire school but I know damn well we had them growing up in 1978 as I set it off.....

What was your point? If you read the original post you would know the idea was to warn people about not standing up when they are in smoke and not to turn their steering wheels into oncoming traffic until they actually start to turn. Someone had the good since to suggest no one go back into a burning house. I was hoping for .com friends to actually give helping advise along this line. It appears I was expecting too much from the children who habitually post here. He must be a slow learner as well...

They were renting from a man who is a fireman. Does that help?

It makes no difference when they were invented. I never heard of them at the time and the owner did not have them installed in that mobile.

The problem is that the best you are good for is as example to the rest of what not to do, and you still haven't caught on to that.

My dad taught metal works at a local High School. he had a kid that tried to use the shear on a piece of steel much to short to use a shear, kid lost part of his finger.
It was a big deal....when the powers that be asked what can be done to prevent this from happening again, my dad replied he would instruct the kids "do not put your fingers any where you wouldn't put your dick...."

Ringman, were you a Christian in 1977? Yes. I became a Christian about two weeks before I turned thirty on June 24, 1974. It was an instant and continuous change.
