Here recently, a husband and wife escaped their burning home unscathed. The husband went back into the house to call 911. He perished. Unbelievably crazy move on his part.
That's exactly what happened in the case of a lady I knew who died in a fire. After that terrible experience, I made up my mind that if I was ever in a house fire, no valuables are to be saved and no 911 calls are to be made except from a neighbor's house. Nothing. Nothing is worth losing your life for and she lost hers over that belief that a 911 call could be quickly done from home.
