Good reminders RM.

I would change one thing: after you get everyone out of a burning building

DON'T F'ing GO BACK IN FOR "STUFF"!

Don't try to make sense; Ringman cannot comprehend that.

If your dick takes you places you wouldn't go with a machine gun, bring condoms.

Instant Classic

This reminded me to keep your steering wheels straight until you actually start moving forward.

Anyone have more to add?

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.

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


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.

I noticed that too.

Having Ringman at your house is like having Chuck Norris, Superman and the Pope all rolled into one at your house, wouldn't you wake him up first too?

If I wanted something torn up, maybe.

ROTFLMAO!

The lady of the house where we were visiting woke me up and told me she smelled smoke....I roused my wife and the lady woke up her husband.

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.

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.

Holy Christ, you can't make that kind of stupid up.

More than I ever wanted to know.

Ringman can and does quite often.

This isn't a real story, is it?

Holy Christ, you can't make that kind of stupid up.

Yes.

Sooo, yes it isn't a real story?

was this the same guy that bounced your paychecks.........

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.

Bigbuck, you are such a good Christian, I can hardly believe your gentleness and kindness.

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!

Good Christian?

Is there a difference in what you call a good Christian and a bad Christian? Definition of both in the bible?

Woke to the smell of smoke? Not the smoke alarm going off?

This happened in 1977.

He was a fireman.

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.

40 years ago, no less...

Wonder any of them are still around.

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?

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.

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.....

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.



You sure are assuming something here. Her husband is a mining engineer. They were renting from a man who is a fireman. Does that help?

Ringman, were you a Christian in 1977?
