@Vjcvette, as we are a small community and I know you’ve have heard about the Brewery fire. A few of us regulars went to help the day of and next. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve never seen anything like it. Yes, I know that was double, but WOW. I still have the strong fire smoke in my nose.

We have some friends who's son helped with a fire by their house. A couple of hours after he got home, he started smothering, had to go to the ER for oxygen, he had smoke in his lungs. It was a barn I think, but it was just odd to me that it didn't bother him until later. Kinda like dry drowning, never knew about that until a few years ago.

joe, you’re my internet brother, I’ve never seen or smelled anything like this (it’s still there). I wish I could erase this from my mind, but at the same time I don’t. (Makes sense?). My cousin is a firefighter and almost lost his life from smoke inhalation several years ago from fighting a fire.

Hope everyone was okay. I know damage to property can be heartbreaking, but it's not as valuable as life. We saw a house burn when I was a kid, like 6-7, and someone was inside. I never will forget their family screaming and crying. We were taken inside, but I watched out the window as they finally got the body out later. It stuck with me, hope your friends are okay.

Hey one of my customers owns a marina and they just had a fire destroy their kitchen and they have a time stamped camera in there and they had just washed and dried a load of towels and some of the towels had previously had cooking oil on them and the towels just started smoking I guess and then caught on fire. The owners were told that cooking oil never really washes out and I guess the towels being warm right out of the dryer and thrown in a basket just heated up and started the fire and they could see what happened on their camera.

Do you own, manager or work in a restaurant? That course is required for any and everyone who does, but it's one of those things very few do because they don't think they need to and it's not really enforced.
