I've been trying to think of something that's better soft than hard. Ummm...
Moving right along, two structure fires last week. #1 was cooking left unattended, caught fire, fire spread rapidy to the walls (had they ever been cleaned?), through a hole in the wall into the framwork (brick veneer house). So instead of the stove fire we were paged to we had a building fire. Held to one room which was good.
#2 was more cooking left alone, hot oil caught fire. The residents managed to extinquish it before we arrived. The beauty of working smoke alarms. And two males who both refused any assistance despite coughing madly from smoke inhalation (shrug). I made sure that the last bit made it into the incident report.
Again, it's the "it'll never happen to me" syndrome.
