  • Years ago I was working as a tech support contractor and I was almost done with a project for a fire alarm company but couldn’t finish that day. I told the owner of the company I’d wrap up the next day as I couldn’t stay since I promised my sister I would help her move. He asked if it was her first apartment and I said yes. He said wait here, went into his office and gave me a brand new fire extinguisher. He said to give it to my sister as a house warming present.

    4 months later my sister wanted to host Thanksgiving dinner. She cooked the turkey and all the fixings, only thing left to make was green bean casserole. Step one was to boil water for the green beans… While boiling water she caught the oven on fire. The apartment didn’t come with a fire extinguisher but luckily she had the one I got that day when helping her move. Dinner was destroyed but the apartment was saved, no damage besides cleaning and everyone was safe. Likely it was grease and oil on the stove from cooking all the other food which caught fire.

    And yes I still make fun of her for almost burning down her apartment by boiling water…
