THIS WAS THE TYPE OF HOUSE FIRE THAT CAN BE A REAL PAIN IN THE ***.
THE FIRE STARTED IN THE BASEMENT AND BURNED IT'S WAY UP THRU THE WALLS AND FLOOR INTO A BEDROOM.
THE STAIRWAY INTO THE BASEMENT
WAS SO SMALL THAT ONLY ONE HOSE LINE COULD BE TAKEN DOWN TO FIGHT THE FIRE.FIREFIGHTERS COULD NOT ENTER THE BEDROOM THRU THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE FLOOR BURNED THRU AND WEAK.
THIS LEFT THE FIREMEN THE JOB OF PUTTING OUT THE FIRE BY CRAWLING
THRU THE OUTSIDE WINDOWS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE,
