02/01/2006: Smoking Steak
At 1725 hours yesterday, the dispatcher contacted the Miller Police Department via radio to tell them that a general fire alarm had been activated at an apartment building in Miller. She then informed the police officer that she would page the Miller Fire Department. Question: Why didn't she page the fire department first? Hmmm.
I just happened to be at the fire hall when we were paged, so my response time was really quick!
By the time we had the first engine rolling and were halfway to the scene, the police called over the radio that the alarm was caused by lots of smoke from burned food. We continued with one engine to the incident, but canceled the rest of the fire response.
There was quite a bit of smoke in the hallways, and it smelled a little like burned steak. The police officer, several firefighters that responded directly to the scene, and some volunteers were ventilating the building by opening windows and using box fans.
When we arrived at the apartment where the smoke originated, the residents were just cutting into a delicious looking, medium-well steak. It sure caused a lot of smoke, but the steak looked fine. Too bad they didn't have enough for everybody.

OK, someone's got to say it: after the fire, was it Miller Time?
