FIRE FIRE!!! Thank you to the good Samaritan riding his bike down the street who knocked on our door this morning . We are all safe and the house is ok, but part of our deck was on fire. The firemen said 5 more minuets and it would have hit the house. Our chimnea broke from being overheated from the fire we had earlier and the embers started a fire:(. No more fires at this household. and Of course I'm one that runs into fires and not away,and grabbed the garden hose,and started putting water on it,and that's why the fire dept said in didn't go any farther. The little part of the fire was under the deck about 3 feet from the house!!! The Big part was about 7 Feet High and 10 feet wide

Guardian Angel on a bike bro!
-
WOW!!! Glad to hear nothing more happened.
House fires freak me out.
-
Glad to hear you guys are ok. Scary stuff.
-
Glad everyone is safe and no real damage to the house Rich.
The next question- You had a fire going last night? Man I had my AC running here ;D
-
Just think of THAT insurance claim. :P
Great that everybody is safe & there wasn't any damage to the house.
-
Those chimnea are dangerous! Thats the second time in a month I have heard a story about them shattering or breaking and setting a deck on fire.

Not be an ass... but what would possess someone to put fire on top of wood they don't want to burn... in the first place?

Ken
It was sitting on a metal frame, i would never have put it directly on the deck :)
-
Have you found the guy yet?
-
No I have not found this gentleman yet
Today has been ruff,I was going on pure adrenaline till about 4 and it hit me how close itwas to being a total MESS.
I'm just in awe on how much damage and loss there could have been if we were not woken up,since it was outside and moving in. The house would have been totally engulfed before the fire alarms would have went off,and thats the part that has me freaked out right now.

that cold have definitely been bad news bears (walter mathau) i didnt know good samaritans still existed. thats refreshing to hear people still look out for people. was it a lance armstrong biker or a leather wearing beard growing biker? not that it matters, just curious.

Just some Black guy riding his bike down a main road at the right time,he knocked told us there was a fire,turned around and rode off. Never even had a chance to ask his name,as I would like to say thank you and gift him something for saving my families life last night.
While all this happened and there were lights sirens kids screaming only one neighbor 2 doors down came down and asked if everyone was ok,but you could see the neighbors next door "peeking" thru there window :o
I have never been so Happy to have a total stranger riding there bike at 5 am like I am now.
So Thank You Mr black Man on a bicycle at 5am in Clinton township
-
So glad you guys are ok. "Stuff" is replacable, but the fact you and family are OK is the most important
-
WOW ... you were truly blessed ... I'm so happy it didn't go further. Once again WOW !!!
All the best !!!

IF I were the one who was riding the bike and did this, I would have stuck around to make sure that the fire was actually out... Strange that he just rode off like that...
Makes you go HUM !

+1....

There is nothing strange or odd that a person stopped to tell us that our deck was on fire.
-
I believe he thought it strange and odd he didn't stick around, my thinking is the man at that time in the morning on a bike was probably on his way to work etc. and didn't want to be late.
-
Yes that was my point, that he did not stick around....Obviously he is a HERO !
