I just got home, what a night.
So yeah, earlier today, I went to a Hookah bar/lounge with some friends.. Having agood time, etc...

So we decided to leave(~2am), I carpooled so on the way to pick up where I left my car (~2:30AM)... We see a house, with a fking shtload of white smoke streaming above it.. So i call the cops and i'm like WTF theres mad fire, y0. They're like orly....
So we pull into the plaza across the street, run over, some other samaritans follow...
We kick down the doors and are yelling our asses off trying to see if anyone is inside. We get no reply.

So as we're doing this, I was kind of pumped so I pull out my camera phone and hit the button repeatedly taking a bunch of shots, while screaming/ banging on things, making a sh!tload of noise.

(((after about 5 minutes of screaming and yelling... the fire starts getting a little bigger... ---notice how semi calm the back yard is))

We continue to scream/bang on the walls... fire gets bigger/ angrier

^^^The roof RIGHT in front of me explodes... and i'm like HOLY FUKIN SH1T i gotta get out of here....

I had to snap a last pic of the fuking ledge of the door that we just kicked down!!!!!!... flames BURSTED out of that opening IT WAS GONE

Step a little more out of harms way and snap a pic 30 seconds later of the giant inferno at the door we just kicked in.

^^We wait in the road just watching the house burn down helplessly... The fire truck/ fire squad arrives about 5 minutes later (It's 2:39AM now)






http://www.importatlanta.com/upload/files/299/IMG00304.jpg
fire is getting even bigger and bigger... Firefighters/ police officers are telling us to go back across the street.... we do that.





http://www.importatlanta.com/upload/files/299/IMG00305.jpg
^^^as we're stepping away another giant "explosion"... the house is now completely engulfed





http://www.importatlanta.com/upload/files/299/IMG00306.jpg
^^the house is now an inferno... Flames engulfed the area I was just standing at 5 minutes ago.



Cops come up to us... Ask if there was anyone else inside. We tell the cop that we were just driving by, got out and ran in and didn't see/hear anyone inside The cop immediately said on the radio "Theres no one inside"... We were like... ehh you do know we aren't professionals there might be someone inside. So he's corrects that he's not sure.. Then they tell us to leave and we do. I sure hope no one was injured/hurt by that.

It'd be a cr4ppy thing to wake up to

Anyone know of a way to know if everyone was alright? / No one got hurt? I mean the house was definitely occupied..... Just don't know if the occupants were home at the time.

Anyways... with that said check the batteries on your smoke detectors RIGHT NOW

Checking for people being inside is.

just to let you know that was the stupidest thing you couldve ever done. sure the fire was already going and all but by opening the door you proceed to give the fire one of the things it needs to exist which is air, which in turn caused it to get that big that fast. not to mention that by kicking the door open you couldve seriously been injured by fire rushing out the door going after the oxygen. next time just dial 911 and let the professionals do there job which they are trained for.

dang man way to go. IMO checking for people inside is more important than keeping the door closed.

So your saying he was wrong for checking if people where inside:thinking:
yes, if someone was inside and passed out then what?? by fueling the fire with oxygen he helped it spread faster and burn alot hotter. and lets say he did by some chance he heard someone in there crying for help. was he willing to run in there and find the person. a burning building is nothing like what you see in the movies especially one like that. you wouldnt be able to see more than 2 feet in front of you IF you were that lucky. not to mention the smoke that is hot would prob be hot enough to possibly melt your lungs along with the disorientation that would go along with this. even firefighters dont just run into a building they either do a right hand search or a left hand search and they go in with another firefighter. they also have an SCBA which actually provides cool air even in a building on fire, along with a fire retardant suit. not too mention the all to important training.













oh and btw im not blowing smoke out of my ass i was a firefighter for 3 years and a Fire Marshall at 18.
