Happy New Year. I do hope you didn't start your year like I did. My alarm went off this morning to get up for church and I hit the snooze. I just laid there and noticed my throat burned a bit. I finally sat up in bed and couldn't see. I realized the room was filled with smoke. I jumped up and ran to my bathroom and opened the door. There was a fire in the floor where my space heater was sitting. I tried to flip on the lights but they wouldn't work. My carpet was on fire. I had a bowl on my vanity and grabbed it and filled it and threw the water on the fire and put it out. It got so hot in there it cracked my bathroom window. The walls are all black, everything is black. I am still in shock. I dropped my phone in some water as well. I have it in a bowl of rice trying to dry it out right now. I'm so blessed that I woke when I did. It could have been so much worse. I am suppose to go to a tea at my Aunt's house this afternoon but I'm a bit numb. I am going to try and call her on my phone, if it works and bow out. I have someone coming tomorrow to help me work on cleaning it all up. He will be doing most of the work. I pulled something when I was running and trying to put out the fire. My back is tightening up as I type this. I do pray this is not an indication of what 2017 is bringing. I'm looking on the bright side, I'M OK.

What a way to start the day - not to talk about the year. I am glad you woke up when you did and were able to put it out. I would say this is not an indication of what 2017 is going to bring - this was the worst of it, now everything will be better. Go to have tea with your aunt, it will do you good and help you to relax a bit.

Thank you Jozette99. I just took some Ibuprophin for my back and am trying to take it easy. Have someone coming to check my electricity to that room in a bit as well. Have to be here.

Wow - you are a blessed person and so happy you were able to put the fire out yourself. And, it does sound a bit scary so you will feel a little "off" for a few days. Hang in there.

Wow! That was a close call. I had a fire in the house that burned out a room. My one regret afterward was that I stayed in the house breathing that stuff. Consider staying somewhere else until it's cleaned up. Usually the insurance will pay for a hotel, if you don't have friends or family to go to. Those bad smells are toxins. I advise you to sleep somewhere else tonight. Take care!

So pleased you were so quick witted. Glad everything was okay for you. I actually have a smoke alarm right outside my bedroom door and one inside the bedroom, as well.

Thank goodness you are OK. That's a great start for the New Year considering what could have happened. Look on the bright side and forget about the rest.

Oh how awful and scary that would be. How awesome that you didn't panic and did what needed to be done. I can only hope I would be that brave! Thankful you are ok. You will be able to handle anything 2017 sends your way after that!!!
