Where there's smoke, there's fire. And that was the case at a Houston Hospital. Fortunately the fire was put out with an extinguisher before anyone was hurt. It's a good thing the extinguisher was acccessible and ready to use so that there was no significant damage or worse, loss of life.
A number of fires at San Jose State in California leave students worrying.
Fire crews responded to two small fires Thursday morning at Joe West Hall, a high-rise building where about 500 students live.
One was reported in a garbage can on the seventh floor, and the second was reported on the fifth floor. One student suffered cuts to his arm when he broke into a fire extinguisher box.
In what was the third vent fire in the school this year, the dynamic duo of the principal and custodian sprung into action simultaneously with a fire extinguisher to stem the flames while sounding the alarm to get the children to safety outside of the building. This one school is proof enough that it is VITAL that all fire extinguishers must be properly maintained and montitored for presence, pressure and accessibility.
