What did you do during spring break?

Today, responded to a bedroom fire after a phone charger caught fire and spread to curtains, carpet, and other items in the room.

A quick thinking 12 year old, who turns 13 this Saturday, took immediate action. He removed the burning items from the home, stopping the fire from spreading further. He then alerted a neighbor, who brought over a fire extinguisher and helped put out the remaining fire.

Because of their fast actions, what could have been a serious house fire was kept under control. Damage was limited and no one was injured.

This is a strong reminder that fires can start quickly from everyday items. Acting fast and having the right tools nearby can make all the difference.

Great job and happy early birthday.

Does anyone know who this lovely human is who walked out his $70 check & threatened my staff? He is driving a black car. In the video, it looks like a black sedan (Camry... we think).
