The response was tremendous. The father and son who were there are friends of ours and were frying fish in the kitchen and grilling steaks who outside when the fryer exploded. Fortunately, they were outside when the explosion occurred. It blew out the kitchen window, and when they ran inside the grease has acted like napalm and fire covered the wall and ceiling. They ran into the next room to get a fire extinguisher, but by the time they got back to the kitchen, the entire room was engulfed in flames. They ran to the next room and tried to open the glass doors, but they were stuck. They threw furniture against the glass, but it wouldn't break. The room was filled with smoke, and they got on their hands and knees continuing to try to open the door. Finally it opened and they escaped. Only by the grace of God did they survive. They got to the dock, and watched the house burn. The entire thing took only about 15 minutes. The fire was so intense it blew up a buried propane tank and melted the headlights of one of their cars 20 yards away.
It would have been far worse without the rapid and competent response of the volunteer firefighters.
