House fire next door

Definitely brave @89th. I’m on your side here. You did amazingly well .. adrenaline must have fueled your decision making. You saved an entire family who were unaware & could’ve perished in their basement. I’d be thanking God you were where you were in your kid’s room looking out that window then … house fires, attic fires spread quickly, jump to neighbouring houses … plenty of examples of this.
Years back, a work colleague lost their entire home to an attic fire. She admitted she was forever changed by this.@blondie said in House fire next door:

I wonder if that was due to adrenaline kicking in, what a strange feeling.

Hahahaha right? I was using my phone's flashlight since their lights were off upstairs so it was in my hand and when I saw the chair on fire I thought the family might want to see what I saw later for insurance or proof. Not sure why I thought that, but they did ask for the photo later in the evening, as well as the deputy fire chief so they could document the cause as lightning or something.

Excellent job, 89th! Though, I have to ask… Did you seriously stop and whip out the phone to take a picture of the burning highchair before putting it out?
