This is a wakeup to know what you would do before it happens. It was reported to be a trailer home so probably not very large. Grab the dogs on the way out. Consider getting a smoke hood to give you a few more seconds. Here is one review on a few smoke hoods. I have no idea what the best one is today.. Smoke hood review Trailer, gone in 60 seconds.............. I can understand............to many people, their pet/s are all they have. |

Pyle said the home was heated by a 55-gallon drum wood burner. I have never heard of such a thing, home made? |

If you are smart enough to make a 55 gallon drum fire place you should be smart enough to cut some doggie escape hatches in your double wide.

There is some real poverty around parts of western PA (which maybe some don't get see out in the countryside), figured it was maybe a kerosun heater but thats pretty bad. This Was mostly a coal mining area, and agricultural. The police could have been several minutes out, and VFD even more. |

Protip: running into a burning building without the right equipment for a dog doesnt make you a hero, it makes you dead. Gone. No more. Worm food. Deceased.
Don't leave your family and friends behind wondering why they lost you over an animal. I loved all my pets greatly, but in the end, they are an animal, not a person |

Those of you with children would risk your lives to save an animal? This. Priorities and all. Edit: Never mind kids, how about anyone who cares about or relies on you in any way? People need to have more respect for human life, even if it's their own. This is coming for someone who grew up on a hobby farm and has cried at the death of every single dog, cat, horse etc... that I've owned. For those saying he didn't plan for it to turn out the way it did...ummm yeah no kidding he didn't plan to die but you don't go running into a burning house without knowing you are putting yourself at considerable risk. |

I will never die for an animal. I don't reckon he intended for that to be the outcome. When someone gets shot in a movie theater I don't think "I'd never die just to see a movie" or say "Holy shit, no way I'd die just get to the other side of the street" when I hear about someone getting hit by a car in an intersection. On the other hand, before we lost our dog, if I heard him being burned to death I'd sure as shit try to save him. Do you even logic bro?

As a father of two boys, I would have to say that my main focus is getting them out obviously, but if I can, I'm going to try like hell to get my dog. Would I go in in knowingly that there was a good chance I wouldn't come back out.....no...... But I understand a man's love for his dog.....sorry to hear...

Did it for my son's parrot,we had a fire and when we got to the front door the bird was screaming my name.
I was crawling under the smoke dragging it's cage behind me.He made it out alive. Looking back it was stupid,but I didn't think about what I was doing I just did it. |

They work REALLLY well but no way in hell would I ever put one in a goddamn trailer. They tend to rust out quickly and collapse when the fire gets hot. I can heat a whole pole barn with one, 50'x75' Here is the one I get from Tractor Supply. They are good for about a season and then need to be replaced. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/united-states-stove-barrel-stove-kit |

I would hope that I had the sense and self control not to go throwing my life away for my dog. But I probably wouldn't. |
