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.

There's been some threads on the fire where I've learned some interesting stuff.

NEXT!


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

It sounds like you are making this up. And we all think you are. Put down the crack pipe and walk away.

Do you often visit a trailer park? Lady of the house? shocked

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.

No. But I did work for him once while unemployed. It was some of the most fun I ever had on a job. 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.....

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?


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

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?

I was being facetious. Do you appeal to the Bible because you believe It to be True? There are no bad Christians.

This happened in 1977. I never heard of them back then. Certainly the owner of the house would have had them if they existed. He was a fireman.
