Residents of 412 Oak Street were asked to "bear with us" Wednesday evening as firefighters ran a charged 2.5" hose line directly through their living room to reach a fire in the neighboring structure.
"We apologize for the inconvenience," Captain Morrison announced while his crew stretched several hundred feet of hose past the sofa. "This was the fastest route. You can probably still watch TV if you don't mind stepping over the line."
Homeowner Janet Chen watched as her carefully arranged living room was bisected by what she described as "a very wet snake that's apparently pressurized."
"They asked if they could go through and I said sure," Chen explained. "I didn't realize 'through' meant through the actual house. I thought maybe they meant the yard."
The hose remained in place for approximately three hours while crews fought the neighboring structure fire. Chen reports making the best of the situation by "offering the firefighters snacks every time they ran past" and "only panicking a little when the line pulsed."
A department representative later arrived with an apology and a certificate for one free carpet cleaning. "We really appreciate her cooperation," Morrison said. "Most people aren't that understanding about having fire equipment in their house."
