Popcorn Sellers Report Fire
Posted by admin under: recognition; safety .
Two Scouts, misreported as both being Boy Scouts, reported a bathroom fire to the store’s owner when they were selling popcorn. Who knows how out of control it could have gotten if someone hadn’t seen and reported it when it was small?
Twelve year old Joseph Watson saw smoke and quickly called for his thirteen year old brother Thomas. “Well my brother was like, oh, Thomas come here cause he was not sure what was happening. I came in and I look and there is all this smoke filling the hall and it kept getting out bigger and bigger,” said Thomas Watson.
The boys notified the store manager who found the bathroom trash to be on fire. He was able to get it under control with a fire extinguisher. The Bend Fire Department responded to the incident saying the likely cause, a cigarette thrown in the trash.
I can’t believe they got the ages right or else Joseph was wearing his old Webelos Cub Scout uniform for some reason. Anyway, they did a great thing and should be lauded for that.
