Do you mean you would have had to removed her padding???

If there was damage, I won't be able to tell until after the smoke clears, so to speak!

Yes, the air will have to clear before you can tell. I was curious because at one point I was doing disaster cleanup. It was surprising how just a little fire can cause so much smoke damage. Point of interest: the vast majority of hourse fires I was involved in were caused by careless cooking in the kitchen, careless use of candles or smoking or electrical faults. On house we cleaned up stank of pot. The idiot was cooking pot down into hash. I won't reveal the details or ingrediants but one is extremely flammable!

The difference is in air pressure. Inside a structure that has a fire there is an increasing air pressure due to the increasing heat, and the expansion of material. When the source is from outside, you don't have the same dynamics, and therefore are much less likely to have the same kind of damage.

Thanks for pointing that out as well. I didn't mention it as I didn't want to appear as if I was piling on. BTW, Mulder, your wife is pretty hot...............she dating?

Mulder ~

So glad that your home was spared. I didn't see the video yet.... my home computer is too sloooowwwww..... I'll check it out elsewhere.

Wonder how hot you looked.... being that close to the fire and all.

Will definitely have to check that out!

I read through the posts here briefly and remember things being said about cobwebs on cameras.... cheesy lawn furniture... hmmmmm.....

Wonder if Marlene might have had a hand in this somehow...... Wasn't she always looking out for you?

Hi, Wacor ~ I know, I know!!

There are some things that we did alike..... the main thing we did not have in common was... that I'm married... she wasn't! That means I'm usually all talk and no further action.... ! She could go with things as far as she wanted to take them! I'm just having a little harmless fun here now and again!

And I'm working on that post count! I just discussed this with Candy at the Tavern and I think I've got it figured out on how to top her posts!

The local NBC affiliate filmed this entirely from our backyard. Its pretty amazing--they interview us at the end. Make sure you watch it all the way through because they (the news crew) think the firefighters had fought off the fires, but it comes up again later in the video (about 12:20 to 10:45 counting down is the segment that is most amazing) and puts a firefighter on his butt. We were watching from inside the house. Once that happens you can kind of FF to the end (1:40 left) where they interview us. All this was going on in our back yard and was broadcast live--they actually broadcast from there for a few hours. I have video from earlier that shows the prgression of the fire from the ridges across from our house earlier in the day.

That low quality film does not do justice to the intensity of that fire. I have to tell you I saw several huge firewalls come up and thought there was no F-ing way the firefighters would hold that fire back. But I guess they knew they had a very defensible position. I'll post some before and after pictures for you guys later.

Wow, Mulder, you even impressed me!

Seriously, I'm glad to see you and your family are well, and your home has been saved. Good day!
