Tools of the citizen firefighter: Green line in one hand. Camera-phone in the other.

This is from San Benito, Texas. It was taken by hba777 and he wrote it happened during the fourth quarter of the Niners – Seahawks game. The neighbor’s home that caught fire belongs to the man’s cousin.

 I called 911 and started hosing fire so it wouldn’t spread to my house or neigbors. Fire Department arrived shortly and were able to contain it but I didn’t know who had won the game. Oh well fire didn’t spread to my house so at least that was good and no casualties only calf pulled muscle I suffered while running to hose it down. Ouch that hurt!

Face it, this is a new market for our sponsor Fire Cam. The citizen firefighter needs both hands free so they be more effective with the green line, or at least to be able to stay up with the game on the smartphone.
