Sat here typing on the forum when i hear smoke alarms beeping and a knock on the door, its the lady next door telling me her house in on fire (well the cooker) and her kid is upstairs asleep so i just had to do a bit of wet towels and water throwing until the fire brigade turned up, got the old heart pumping a bit for 5 minutes.

Turned out to be not to bad got it out before they arrived and the kids were fine, damage was reasonably minor but the house smells a bit funny and i found out if you go near a glass oven door thats on fire with a wet towel it will literally explode across the room and the person stood in front of it but TBH made me feel good inside knowing i had helped someone out of a fix :)
 
I wrapped my hand in a wet tea towel to open oven door to get to the fire which was in top oven licking up through the hob area and just the gentlest touch on the glass with the wet cloth and it went off with one hell off a bang, i proper shit myself and jumped across the room im not sure but i may have let out a little wee and a funny noise from my mouth

Well done could have turned nasty if you hadn't been there, sounds like a scene from one of my bbq's :eek:
 
So now we have Fire and RSPB hero's in the forum... What a great bunch. :thumbsup:

Any more heroics today peeps?

Well I managed to unblock a toilet tonight after one of the kids (all denying any knowledge of course) put what looked like half a roll of andrex down there. Does that count because if so I will raid their fancy dress costumes for a cape?
 
Well done Pauly!

We had a nasty one last year; the shed caught fire and completely incinerated my strimmer, mower and more. Two tanks of petrol blew up too. Quite impressive. Luckily it has been replaced by a much better shed/outbuilding!

Nice Big Garden! Room for all us members to pitch overnight! Can you install some hookup points please :D
 
Amazing how a shed can just spontaniously combust...


Especally when you want a bigger better one...:)

Apologies

Oi oi...:p

Official fire service report; electrical fault in the system (a light and a double socket) that was in there. The entire house had to be rewired afterwards as it was bloody dangerous. Much hassle but much safer now.

And I still keep remembering stuff that was in there that I forgot to claim for.
