I've posted my story in the "Turnings" forum for those interested. This is just an awareness post.
PLEASE EVERYONE LISTEN UP: we always hear about these things, myself included. I too had an "it won't happen to me" attitude.
Please check your extinguishers, and make sure you have a BIG one, or even two. It's a horrible feeling to be gaining on a small fire to only run out of spray, then watch it get huge.
If you live in cold climates, (we're in Lewiston, Idaho)put in freeze proof faucets. I could have stopped this at the dog kennel had I just had some water.
Have a plan in place for your family members, and review it monthly with them. Make sure you have a meet place if needed. I have 2 kids. My daughter is 17, son is 14. they were awesome that night. No real panic. Zac took care of the dogs, Nicole called 911 (I already had, but she was on it too) Kids knew what to do, and everyone stayed safe.
Go over your insurance with your agent. review it, ask questions, update any new purchases or add-ons. Just go thru it and make sure all is right with the world.
No need to reply here. Just PLEASE take this information to heart.
Don't let this happen to you
