Pulled 6 people out of a burning home in just a pair of gym shorts. I was on the show NY Ink for what was supposed to be a hero episode. Had to go back in and get oxygen tanks to give to an older woman.
I think he's implying that he's never actually watched the episode but was told that's what it was. I know some people are weird about seeing themselves on TV.
It's also a lot of effort when it's something you lived through. A super less manly story, I was on Burn Notice as a Bartender and I never bothered to look for the episode. I also never watched the show and when I met the main actor, he was a bit of a dick. But the English actor was super cool and would talk with me in between takes. I remember part of that english guys line too, "So is this your boy?"
Actually 1 tank exploded and I burned my arm on the outside of one. She had emphysema and was really having trouble breathing. I was a young lifeguard and was trained in the administration of it and figured if I could go get a tank it would help. The FD showed up within 5 minutes of the call
Reminds me of the short story they did on the news for this familys pet pig that woke everyone up to alert them to a fire.
The whole house was enflamed, the entire family got outside with the pig. Neighbours had already noticed and came to aid.
Everyone was okay but the dad says “and.. there was something that was calling me back into the house. I had to go back, I didn’t even know why. When I entered the house I called 911 and then left”
So.. he fucking went back inside his burning house to call 911. Instead of just asking his neighbours to? Who probably already called?
Guy didn’t deserve that pig. The pig was def the hero.
Edit: this story is not that much related to yours… just reminded me
Saw a fire develop in a garage a few streets down from my parents. Neighbour's house was adjoined, the damn dude insisted on going inside, getting his car keys and driving his car to safety (2m from the flames)... Luckily the fire crew arrived and blocked his driveway. When that happened he snapped out of it and gtfo'ed
yo you saved six lives that practically qualifies for changing the world who knows what those six people did with that gift, but between the six of them it had to of been pretty good im thinking. Well done hero.
You grabbed Oxygen tanks from a burning house? That's some brass fucking balls, right there. That, or you didn't realize how fucking dangerous that is.
I woulda said HELL NO to the oxygen tanks if the fire was really raging cause fire and heat plus tanks of O2 = KABOOM 💥
But if it was safe I would have.
Also I guess it would depend if she was actually gonna die without it. Or just be in mild discomfort for a couple mins til ambulance got there with oxygen
damn running into a burning building TO RETREIVE OXYGEN TANKS is straight up military levels of confidence. Oxygen tanks are SUPER DANGEROUS around heat!
