Fire Department to the Rescue

Tonight I received a very disturbing call from our landlord. Frankie came home from school and was cooking lunch for himself. His friend showed him how to fry chicken nuggets on the stovetop and apparently left two nuggets in the pan and spilled some oil on the stove top. He swears he shutoff the stove before he left to go outside play. I think he forgot to turn off the burner. Needless to say he nearly burnt down our house. We have a ton of soot and smoke damage in our house. Luckily our house never caught on fire which I am grateful for. One of our neighbors called the fire department and the landlord. The firefighters disconnected the stove and opened up all the windows. The screens were removed off the windows when I came home. The house is a mess literally and will take forever to clean up. We have to repaint the house and probably clean the carpets after its all said and done with. Frank and I both came home late from work. Frankie was quite shocked and amazed when he came home to see what had happened. He told me he heard the fire trucks coming and even saw them turning onto our street and thought it was for someone else. Crazy Huh!

Thankfully we have all of our possessions still and are all safe.
