everyone make sure you have a fire extinguisher on each floor of your house, especially in the kitchen. There are different types so check before buying. When I was pregnant with my son, and my brain had left my body for 9 months, I turned on the oven forgetting there was a plastic bowl in the oven and it was in flames. I didnt have one and luckily my landlord was at his business across the yard and he put it out with his. He thought I had one and I did after that day. So glad you got it out quickly and no one was hurt. Quick thinking.

I'm very glad none of your family was hurt. This could have been so much worse! Just imagine if it happened in the middle of the night!

Sorry, glad you all are safe.

The lady down the road from me had to call out a company( I think it was called Servpro?) but they specialize in after fire/flood restoration. The lady had built a fire in her fireplace and didn't open the flue(sp?) and then she went down the road to the store! Needless to say she had some serious damage when she returned.
I hope everything can be restored. I am happy that your family and pets are ok. Your dad is a hero for braving that fire and kudos to you for your prompt discovery!

I am so glad that your family was safe. Your dad was very brave to put out the fire; that can be extremely dangerous due to fumes from whatever is in the closet melting (such as plastic) and the general risk of smoke inhalation.

Your sister has probably lost a lot of things that were important to her... I feel bad for her and hope her things can be replaced.
