Subject: [ferrethealth] Fire in our building; be prepared for emergencies!
To: FHL <ferrethealth@smartgroups.com>
Okay, for the second time in about a week we had some excitement.
Again we were lucky. We are in a small condo and a neighbor's
furnace repair person started a fire in our building. I collected
the ferrets (Hilbert came immediately and put himself in my hands but
I had to pull Whizbang, Morney, and Hubble from under furniture
ferret meds and then Telemna came out once the others were out, our
meds and their meds, our ID, accounts books and recent statements,
ferret food, jewelry, and the two portable computers we have here.
All loose stuff went into two large pillowcases. Then the ferrets,
the items and I sat on the stoop and waited. That is where Steve
found us as the fire dept. was finishing up. Having a ferret room
meant that I was able to more easily find the ones who hid. Steve
and I are so glad that none got hurt being pulled out from under the
trunk and the desk.
A week ago we had a problem when our furnace went out but kept trying
to heat our house at the same time that the complex had the
landscapers working on the hill with tillers. I have asthma and out
home filled with diesel exhaust. Hilbert is trustworthy and was
out. He woke me. By the time Steve got back from an early morning
walk we were all in the front room with a big fan going and the
sliding glass door open, the exhaust fans were working, the hepa
filters were one, and we were mostly aired out.
Arrgghhh! Thank goodness for Hilbert. May you and yours also be
safe (and know beforehand how to quickly gather things in an
emergency. Have the most essential things HANDY in just a few places.).
