Scariest situation for me happened about 14 yrs ago. My friend,my wife and I were enjoying a cocktail [ beer ] on the back porch. It was about 11 in the evening when my wife walked into the kitchen to see my son wandering around in a sleep-like state. His face covered in black. Then the electricity went out and to our horror we realised the upstairs was on fire.My daughter was still up there. I raced up the stairs to her bedroom, by now the whole upstairs was filling with smoke, she wasn't in her room, I heard her calling from my bedroom but by now I couldn't see a thing and it was getting very hard to breath. I ran into my room feeling around frantically and finally grab her arm. I scooped her up and made my way downstairs as fast as I could. Everybody made it out ok and thankfully the fire station is only two blocks from my house so the damage was contained to just the second floor.
