It was really scary. There I was sleeping and unbeknownst to me, smoke was seeping through the cracks between the bricks of our chimney into the wall cavity. The outside wall paneling was wet due to snow and rain. The combination of hot smoke and wet wood made the wood paneling spontainiously combust. The house was ablaze. Around 0600AM, the neighbor woke up to his dog barking at the flames and saw them for himself as he got up to have a smoke. He tried calling me but the fire had already burned through the phone lines. He called 911 then rushed over to wake me from my sleep and spray the fire with his extinguisher. I rushed in and got ours and he used it up as well. Had he not woken up, I would not be here today. I dampened down both fire places and we waited for the fire department to come. Now, we live in Chiloquin Oregon and the nearest fire department is in Klamath Falls. KFalls happens to be 35 miles away. We do, however, have a resident fire marshall and some volunteer fire fighters, however, they didn't have the equipment at first. Finally, they acertain as to whether or not the fire is in the walls and then the open it up and hose it down. It took a few hours but we ended up losing only half of a wall. Never-the-less, We can't live in the house due to the fact that the fire place was the only was to heat the house and now half of a wall is gone. I packed up what I could in my car and drove back down to california to my mother's house and that is where I am staying, looking for work.
