We were headed to Vegas to visit with my parents. You should know that there is never a dull moment when my mom is around. Today was no different. I had just gotten off the phone with her about picking up a pizza from Sam's Club. Not 10 minutes later she called and said their house was on fire and to get there as soon as possible. I just figured something tiny, so we payed for the pizza and went to her house. When we pulled up their were 4 fire trucks and realized this wasn't anything small.
My mom had said she sat down to go to the bathroom and heard a crackling noise. She thought it was just the fan that had been running to get the steam out from the shower. She hit the fan to see if it would stop and flames just shot out. The fan had shorted out and caught fire in the attic.
As she is calling 911 my dad is throwing little cups of water. (which is doing nothing), So my mom runs in the backyard and gets the hose and just starts spraying. By the time the fire department arrived the fire was pretty much out.
They had to cut the ceiling open and make sure the fire hadn't traveled. They are so lucky it didn't spread. Two of the trucks stayed and checked everything out. Kam was freaking out, but the other two were very curious.
The fireman were wonderful. They let Kasen and Avery tour the 2 firetrucks, hold the house, sit in side the rucks and even gave them fire hats. This fireman was humongous. He was 6ft. 7in.
Thanks to the quick response of the fireman and my mom who thought to get the hose. Only the bathroom was damaged. I promise mom I will take you more serious next time!!
