What a night...

Double T

Well, I went to the grocery to pick up a frozen pizza and ingredients for our home bbq tomorrow, texted the wife to preheat the over for the pizza.  When I got home, the kitchen smelled funky....I checked to make sure it was on, cause it kinda smelled like methane...anyways, it was on.  No worries.  Went to set down with my son cause he just woke up and I heard a wierd "clicking" noise....like the one you get on a gas stovetop when lighting the burner....anyways I asked the wife if the washer was off balance...she says "It's not on" and our kitchen stove is billowing black smoke. I told her to shut it off, take the baby, and I'd grab our two year old and not to open it as I don't have an extenguisher...

Got everyone outside, called 911 and the firemen came.  Sprayed the stove with an extenguisher.  Come to find out, Kaleb put a toy in the broiler pan and it got hot causing the fire....

Now all the windows are open, I have a scrap stove, and tons of cleaning to do....but thankfully I knew not to open it.  The fireman said if she had, she would've gotten serious burns and we probly would've lost everything and not just the stove.

 

Praise God we have our lives, and our home.
