reminder to check your smoke detectors. change your batteries every year at the same time just to be safe. It prevents the annoying chirp that seems to happen to me in the middle of the night

a five hour fire doesn't seem to have affected house next door

[Leep]

I’m sure that being an aspiring rapper gave him the courage to do the right thing?

[RummyChick]

here is a video of when he approached the house

it is amazing they made it out unharmed

Aren’t there any aspiring physicists, aspiring engineers, aspiring pharmacists, aspiring water skiers, aspiring shop clerks, aspiring Congressmen, aspiring beauty queens, aspiring ditch diggers?

Why is the world only filled with aspiring rappers? If they all achieved their dreams, we’d be awash in crappy, vile, misogynistic, anti-police “music.”

...er, wait a sec.

This is like the occasional “good” pit bull story.

[stevio]

That’s awesome, praise God!

[RummyChick]

i dont understand how all smoke detectors can go out at once.

My only experience is when they are all hardwired together and I get that annoying chirp when battery starts to go dead in one of them

I replaced mine at the 10 year mark.

[Leep]

I’m glad that young man he did the right thing.
I’m sure that family is.

[Major Matt Mason]

Good for him. Most articles that mention aspiring rappers involve either an arrest of said rapper, or an expired aspiring rapper. In the end, the rapper angle has nothing to do with this story.

[RummyChick]

btw, the house is on fire and the ring doorbell is still going and can pick up sound on the side of the house when the guy is yelling at the people. sound quality pretty good

Finally, an “aspiring rapper” done good!

[RummyChick]

Yes, if you do a search on “aspiring rapper” you are going to see far different stories. usually killed or murdered is in the title

So perhaps it makes the story even more amazing. Not sure all aspiring rappers would have done what he did.

[aquila48]

What is this world coming to??

Next we’re going to hear that “Florida man” done something sensible.

[Kaiser8408a]

Aspiring rapper? Isn’t that every young black male in the US?

But kudos to him for altering the family.

[Gaffer]

Regardless of what he does or aspires to, he done good here.

[lee martell]

Someone saved their lives tonight.
You WILL go to Heaven!

[Vendome]

Yep

And all white people want to be country and western stars.../S

[Getready]

Something seems funny.
According to “Whitepages”, Brendon Birt lives in Red Oak, Iowa. Supposedly he is 26 years old. So he would have been born in 1996. His rapper moniker is Blase96. (Blahzay?) or (Blayze)?
According to Wikipedia, Red Oak is 4.1 square miles. A schematic map of the street show a basic group of parallel and perpendicular streets. The population is about 5,000 and decreased from 2010(?) Census of about 6,000.
Questions.....how does a young resident of a small town get lost after taking a “wrong turn”?
If the Lehman house is outside of the main area of town, Birt would have waited too long before turning around.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Let’s see what is determined before rushing and downloading his RECENTLY released album.
Please pardon my paranoid scepticism....or maybe I have been watching too many Basil Rathbone/Sherlock Holmes films.
