Neighbors who reported the house fire told authorities they saw a man, later identified as Jeremy Henry, 39, at a second-story window screaming for help. The man broke the window and climbed down with help from neighbors.
“He stated there was another person in the house to responding firefighters, before he was taken to a local hospital for treatment,” the medical examiner reported. Fire-department personnel attempted a rescue but were repelled by heavy smoke and fire.
“[Henry] said there was thick smoke and he could not see his hand in front of his face,” read the report. Bed posts blocked some of the windows, which made it “difficult,” and smoke alarms in the house were “inoperable,” the survivor reportedly stated.
Henry told authorities that Black was the only other person in the home. “He told deputy Backouris that he and the decedent had gone to sleep in the master bedroom on the second floor. He was awakened by black smoke filling the room and woke Shelby. He was able to find the window and broke it. He thought Shelby was right behind him when he went through the window,” according to the report. The woman’s body was found directly under the escape window.

The acrid, toxic searing smoke will incapacitate a person almost immediately.
ReplyDeleteSounds like we are wasting money on that hook and ladder.
ReplyDelete8:28 PM What a jackass.
DeleteThe jackass is the loser that suggested buying that huge hook and ladder truck. More poor Encinitas financial decisions.
DeleteThey were planning for 5-story buildings. Prop A put a wrench in that plan, but it could be back with next year's upzoning initiative. Stay tuned!
Delete"Needle And The Damage Done"
ReplyDeleteI caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.
I don't know just where I'm going
ReplyDeleteBut I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Ooh babe, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess baby that I just don't know
Oh oh, I guess I just don't know
I have, I've made very big decision
I wish that I could nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
You can't help me not you guys
All you girls with all your sweet, pretty talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
And I, I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a, a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city where a man cannot be free
Of all the evil in this town
Oh baby, and himself and those around
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
Then I'm better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all you Jim, Jim, Jim, Jims
Everybody putting everybody else down
And all you the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds, oh yeah
And while that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Thank God I'm good as dead
Thank God I'm not aware
Thank God I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't
