On Scene of a 3 ALARM BUILDING FIRE at 16945 West 67th Terrace at Hampton Woods Apartments in Shawnee on February 23, 2012 at 1913 hours.
Picture ID# 3376
I walked out my back door around 4p on Sunday June 19, 2011 to work a mitre saw I had set up, and saw a column of fire and smoke. I ran back inside, screamed for Jennifer to come out, grabbed a phone and called 911; but before anyone could answer, I heard sirens so I hung up and ran thru the yards to see what was going on. A house on the street behind mine was deep in fire. The trucks showed up about 5-7 minutes after I first saw the fire, but there was already a firepolice officer on the scene in the driveway of the house next door.
I shot about 15 minutes of video, but also snapped a few stills. Despite the fact there were small explosions (probably from the car inside the garage and propane tanks) we were allowed to stand relatively close.
I don't know the family but they all got out OK. The fire was apparently started by some hot coals from a barbeque that had been thrown in the trash. What a horrible, horrible thing to have happen. I feel very ill from this. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
