The bad:
A friend of mine had a small kitchen fire. His wife called the fire department right away as he extinguished the fire with an extinguisher. The fire department showed up and kicked down the unlocked front door. They proceeded to hose down the furniture in the living room which was not on fire. They went into the kitchen and hosed down everything, then they went into the two bedrooms and hosed down everything. The entire contents of the house was water damaged because if of a small kitchen fire that was out. My friend was not happy.
The good:
Different friend had a lightning strike roof fire. The fire department came in grabbed all the pics from the walls and other valuables and threw them on the bed. Grabbed the bedspread and hauled it outside. They saved a lot of pictures and put out the fire but there was extensive damage to the roof and the ceiling caved in. The stuff in cabinets and dressers and closets was salvageable. The FD did a great job but the house was a demo job and rebuild. They put out the fire and saved a lot of irreplaceable "stuff."
