By no means do we compare this to any large house fire as we were able to thankfully put ours out in time before it caught the whole house. Everyone was safe. God is good
As a full time FF for over 34 years, you did a great job, and, you are extremely lucky to be alive. Had that fire flashed over on you, you'd have died a horrible death. If your area is serviced by volunteer FF's, you should consider applying. Most people would have panicked, and lost the house. You tried using an extinguisher, a large pot of water, and then remembered your garden hose was available. Great job!

That smell is unmistakable. No campfire, fireplace, or BBQ can ever be mistaken for the pure stench of a house fire. One of the most acrid smells you'll ever encounter.
I’m glad all survived. FYI. Had the fire caught the garland, the stairs would have been impassable. I used to garland our stairs. But somehow I heard of one catching fire and blocked a staircase.
God was with you all for sure. So glad to hear that everyone, including the puppies, got out ok. As they say, you can replace things but not lives. I am going to go check my smoke detectors now! I also need a fire extinguisher. Mine is old for sure. Thanks for reminding us.
A house fire has always been one of my greatest fears. I know you experienced a good deal of loss, but it can be replaced. I'm glad to hear that family and fur babies are safe. I wish you hadn't had to go through this, but it's nice to know the outcome wasn't much, much worse
one of my friends from ohio died on his birthday due to a fire that was in his parent's basement the cause of the fire was a short circuit wire I'm glad you your family and your dogs made it out of your house
Good grief. So glad you all made it out. Must have been terrifying. A good action plan is always brilliant to have. Even we have one in our tiny 2 bedroom apartment- every night before bed I make sure our home is spotless at all tikes so there's nothing to trip over.
Wow glad you all got out safely. Hope you’re doing well. I feel bad for you and your family what a nightmare. But good tips on the lessson. And look forward for the updates
I hope you and your family are doing great now. Having a house fire when no one is home is one of my greatest fears. There would be no one to get my dogs out of the house. I have been looking into getting a whole house sprinkler system installed. They are expensive, but worth it if we can save a family member or pet and hopefully the house too
I have been in a fire. It moves so fast. In my large rooms, I have 2 detectors. in every other room, I have one detector. Keep all the doors closed. And always pray🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank goodness you and family made it out. I know how bad house fires are when I was in 19 my Dad & I had a house caused by a oil furnace the fan in the back quit working and it got so hot that the furnace was whiter then white it lit the wall behind the steps that lead to my bedroom . My bedroom everything was damaged from the fire by the heat that it melted or was toasted that if touched my clothes they just crumbled in your hands . But the insurance paid for the lost items and my Dad & I got a new furnace installed in the living room & started remodeling the house . The sad thing was a few years the house was foreclosed on us by the bank before we could pay it off the Crooked bank president must had made a deal with someone bc before we could hand the bank the last payment they all ready foreclosed on it. Now my passed in 2017 from colon cancer and well my stepmother has lost her mind and I have moved from three different apartments now at 52 I am just going to move one last time to my girlfriend's house . I will make sure she has smoke , carbon & radon Detectors in her with a fire Extinguishers on every floor . One in the kitchen , laundry room in the basement & in the bedrooms .
Just saw this in my recommends i hope this becomes like 100,000 views because he really did Praticly saved his family if he didn't do what he did that house would be gone by now I Never seen anyone save a house from a fire the wood just gets so hot it tens to light up on fire and spreads through the house I'm just glad your family and you are safe ( btw I Subscribed )
This is a good lesson for everyone. You can never be too paranoid about fires. I've had 4 friends that lost everything from fires. One lost their baby and another lost their pets. And my employer lost their business from fire. I have 3 fire extinguishers in my house, but other than it indicating they're charged, I haven't had them inspected since I purchased them many years ago. Always keep a very long water hose available and ready for quick use. It's rare that any fire department can arrive in time to save a house since they go up so fast. And always expect it will take 3 times longer for repairs than initially estimated. I'm glad you, your family and pets made it out alive. Stuff is all replaceable and will eventually be lost in time regardless. A good fire safe like yours is the best way to protect your valuables. But even that can get contaminated by the smell of smoke.
You and your family are very lucky... We just had a house fire and lost everything we own. Thank God I got the kids out or things would have been a lot different 🙏 we had no smoke detectors in the whole house 😱 and were very lucky it didn't start while we were sleeping. Hope you and your family are doing well this holiday season 🙏
Be grateful. It could have been much worse. My house burned. The water alone caved in all the ceilings. It took 6 months to rebuild. It was a nightmare. Luckily I woke up and was able to get everybody out.
From the scorch mark, I was just assuming it was the Christmas tree that caught on fire. But then we saw the christmas tree in another room unharmed. So what caught on fire? What was the ignition source? Glad you took quick action and saved your house and that everyone got out safe. It would not have been too long before it would have been beyond saving.
Heating lamp for puppies. Yes you’re right I spoke to the fire marshal and he told me a housefire doubles in size every 30 seconds so it wouldn’t of been very long before it was out of control.
Always have a meeting point, so everyone knows where everyone is, and not going in looking when they are outside in the other side of the house. Best thing if able is to close doors on your way out., as an afterthought. Do not allow that to slow you down.
Yes you had God watching over you, but I hope you know that YOU saved your house. Your quick thinking to put water on the fire not only saved the house, but kept the fire from spreading and doing more damage. Kudos to you for being quick and rational thinking. Also glad the burns healed for you those are one of the worst things a person can deal with.
It was a cheap one I can’t remember the brand but it was like one you would put in a snake or lizard cage. We used them for years and just had this one incident. We switched to a much better one that can never catch fire
@@23CHELMS Ah I see.. I guess it seems cheaply made electronics that especially provide heat, leads to cheap quality and therefore riskier consequences huh?
It's not too likely for a homeowner to put out a fire with a garden hose especially one as large as you describe it. Good work. Time was on your side. you caught it just soon enough. Sorry for your injuries.
There is something about contacting the county to not pay taxes while you are unable to live there. I don’t remember the details, but do research there is something about that so do research.
Fire extinguishers must be static tested i think every 5 years and the powder ones should be checked every year by a ceritfied fire company . the powder in fire extinguishers tends to settle after not in use . in some states building codes are now requiring homes to have sprinklers installed yes its costly but well worth the investment . my recommendition would be to empty the house the go buy a few gallons of a special primer thats used to remove the smell of smoke and it seals the walls . what you do is rent an airless sprayer and prime all the walls doors ect it takes about a day or two to do but afterwards you wont smell the smoke . in a house you should have a smoke dector on every floor and at least 2 fire extinguishers one in the kitchen and one in the basement or laundry room . from the looks of things i dont think it was an electrical panel fire because there would be more damage and the walls would be chard more and the electrical outlets would be melted and a breaker would have tripped in the main panel .
Glad you all got out safely,at least the insurance will cover everything.What caused the fire??I always make sure all wall sockets are switched off befor going to bed and let TV cool down be4 going to bed.Things can be replaced.Hope the puppies are OK also.
Glad you guys are okay. But heat lamps aka brooder lamps are SO friggin dangerous, even in a barn. For keeping the puppies or animals warm, always go with a small forced air heater like a Vornado unit.
You survived your house is still standing, every thing can be replaced. Hug your wife and kid's . If it were my home I would retrofit a sprinkler system inside to suppress fire and I would put ABC extinguishers on every floor of your house in every hallway and one in every room and I would train everyone in my house how to use them. also have a disaster plan and an escape plan. with two exits from every room and an escape ladders on the second floor. With a glass breaker and it's not a bad idea to have a fire blanket. PS glad you're safe hopefully you didn't require skin grafts to heal your Burns. Do not use heat lamps. a thermostatically controlled space heaters with overheat and tip over shut off would be better.. as a former firefighter I wish you all the best and I've seen a billion times worse. We all live and learn.
So glad you and your's are okay. Praise the Lord. What caused the fire? TV frame has most of the char around it. Was it a fire in the TV set? And you're right, no one knows the hour or the day, brother.

A restoration company came and packed out our house and cleaned everything and brought it back. Most stuff was saved but they threw a lot of it away due to soot/smoke damage. Nothing in the fire room was saved
Brother, I admire you and your wife's courage in doing what you did. However, WHAT were you thinking? Aside from getting the pups and the children out, you should have exited the house and let it go with all watching from the outside. Death by fire is a very agonizing way to die. Don't get me wrong. The only thing that matters is that no lives were lost.
If I would have felt like saving the house would cost me my life I definitely would have made my exit. I felt like I was able to do it especially once I was outside spraying water into the house instead of being inside still.
I made this video right after I had gotten out of the hospital. Our kids were in the front yard as we made it into the room where the fire was. The kids woke up at the same time we did and were safe as I fought the fire and my wife got the puppies out of the flames. You’re the 2nd person who has said this so I assume I just made a verbal error when making the video as I was still pretty frazzled and on a lot of medication.
Our cell phones were trapped in the bedroom, my daughter ran to the neighbors and called 911 but it’s a volunteer fire department so it took them about 20 minutes
In the heat of the moment, in the panic - & in telling your story - you mention & your wife goes for the puppies first. Then your kids. Think about that.
We yelled for our kids to get out of the house as we ran in to where the fire was. Our minds were on containing the fire in the room first. The kids were actually already up and coming down the stairs when we got into the room where the fire was cause the smoke alarms woke them up. When I went for the fire extinguisher they were already in the front yard safe.
There’s no doubt you saved your house with your actions, a true protector. I’m glad you, your family, dogs and house are okay
