Mattress Fire

It was a nice nite out and we got a call around 11pm to smoke in a house. I put a radio on and went upstairs with John K , John P and Jack. When i got into the room (i had a water can) I saw Barkley and Mark from truck co. ripping apart a smouldering mattress and boxspring.

I immediately yelled "lets just get it the fuck out of here" and Mark opened a window. I helped him lift it and throw it out the window (without my gloves, hot water poured over my hands but didnt burn). I then put some water on the box spring and a few guys carried that downstairs.

On the lawn we cut the mattress open further with knives and the probie put water on it.

Radio Fire

We got toned out one weekend afternoon to a fire in the basement. When we got there, I was the first in crew with B. Woods and Ricky. I brought the water can and told them to grab tools. The officer told us there's a lot of smoke but the fire's out.

The basement was filled with smoke and Ricky and I walked around in the haze looking for the fire. Billy found it, in the first bedroom on the right. It was a melted radio on a dresser - the room was completely filled with smoke. It smelt horrible with the burnt plastic so i put my mask on and went on air so i wouldn't inhale that crap.

Billy picked the radio up and had it removed, and we did some overhaul on the dresser and clothing in the room, then vented. Bob B. and Ryan W. came downstairs but went back up when they saw it was all done. I blew black shit out of my nose for hours after.
