Ahh shit, i left my butane hash oil rig running while i went to oysterfest. I didn’t remember to set it on autopilot and the gasses must of leaked!
Really??!
Well, look at her.
I don’t see anything funny about a building burning luckily it wasn’t business hours another Saturday so no one was in the building and so glad it didn’t spread I’m sure Fortuna was remembering when they lost so much of Main Street
There were people in the building but they helped fight the fire with fire extinguishers.
The chief pointed found the abundance of fire extinguishers unique.
I do like these videos from the chiefs or officers in charge when available. Usually it really adds a pragmatic clarity to the story.
Me, too. As much as possible, we try to get them.
Thanks to Fire chief Lon Winburn and Fortuna volunteer fire fighters for putting this fire out so quickly
They provide a great service to our community, we never understand how crucial There services are Until they are needed and today they were needed in spades…!
Thanks to “Jonathan” from six rivers Property management for acting so quickly with those fire extinguishers he was able to hold the fire back until help arrived.
Great job fortuna fire as always hope building is ok Sarah
Hope all works out ok Sarah!
🕯🌳I live in Fortuna and I have 5 fire extinguishers in my house. If done right they make decorative lamps as well.
I, too, have several fire extinguishers, two by every exit.
Every home should have at least one for every adult and stored by the exits. At the exit the decission can be made to fight it with the extinguishers or to leave.
🕯🌳👍🏽👍🏽Iput lights on mine incase need emergency lighting.
