You hear the incoming alarm sound at your fire station. Your heart rate increases, your muscles tense up, and you spring into action! Your instincts, your training, your experience, it all gets shrunk down to that one call for help that YOU have received!

We’re all human, and therefore all a bit forgetful in the heat of the moment. What about the burger you were frying on the stove when the call came in? Did you move the pan off the burner? Did you even turn the burner off!? It’s hard to remember these things when lives are on the line.

“We’re just as vulnerable as everyone else,” Public Information Officer Kendra Loney said, talking about a stovetop fire at her station. “The irony is not lost on me.” A pot of food was left cooking on the stove, or as another Fire Chief put it, “Firefighters are human just like everyone else, and sometimes mistakes occur when in a rush.”

 We’ve all heard and read the stories of stove top fires at fire stations after rushing to a call. Below are some examples… If only they had installed a Denlar ClockBox™.
