#5  Unfortunately, trailers come in two forms: Not on fire, or fully involved. :-(

#3  That was one brave boy. We lived in some similar types of housing in the bush, that had barred windows and security screen doors. I kept a good axe under my side of the bed, and had a spot on the bedroom wall chosen to chop my way out if I had to.

#2  Sad, lost a good one.

Those trailer homes are dangerous in a fire. There is so little room and the building material usually inexpensive, plus with so many plastics, it quickly becomes deadly on account of smoke, then the heat can flashover if it hasn't found a way to vent. No smoke detector cost very precious time. Yeah, kid saved lives.
