Quick work-Great outcome

This article came across my screen today of the great action of the Bethesda, Maryland Fire Department.

The rescue of three triplets is what the fire department is suppose to do, but wish they did not have to do. The fire was so hot, firefighters had to make two attempts to rescue the children.

In this case, the father tried to put the outdoor hot tub fire out first, the first thing he should have done was remove his family from the home, second, call 911 and then worry about fighting the fire on his own.

So many people, try their personal firefighting skills first and once they fail call 911. I do not know, but maybe if in this article 911 had been called first, there would have not been injuries or a home ready to be demolished.

The other day, a friend told me a fellow in a pick up truck followed her teenage daughter and a friend while walking the dog. Instead of calling 911 first, she called her mother who was miles away. Results: frantic mother and longer response time from the police.
