JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It took eight firefighters to pull a 500-pound northwest Jacksonville, Fla., woman from her burning home because she couldn't save herself, Jacksonville TV station WJXT reported.
 
Crews rushed to Josie McCoy's home late Tuesday after she called 911 because her kitchen was on fire and she was stuck in her bed.

Umm, how did her kitchen catch on fire if she was stuck in bed? Something just doesn't make sense here.

When I was a kid our kitchen caught fire while everyone was in bed. There was a short in the vent-hood over the stove. It smouldered until the early hours of the morning, then caught the wood cabinet on fire and spread to the curtains and then into the dining room. I have vivid memories of sitting in the neighbors car across the street - in my nightgown and bare feet - with my mom and my brother, and watching the firetrucks.

A couple of years ago a friend of mine had her flower shop burn down from faulty wiring above the cooler. Again, 4 in the morning, no one was around, and the shop was fully engulfed in flames by the time anyone got there.

Fires start all the time when no one is around. Faulty wiring, gas leaks, any number of things.

There's nothing about a fire like that, that "doesn't make sense".
 
waaahh,:willy_nilly: I can say that is one of the thousand disadvantages of being fat..it is scary to be on fire but it is more scary to be fat like that, super unhealthy.

Oh wait...This statement caught up my attention and it made me laugh, really...

How come she was stuck in bed??? But i come to this realization that maybe she ran upstairs and hide under her bed. Because she was terrified she wasn't able to think well and just thought of hiding somewhere that is safe for her. :biggrinjester:
 
"Florida, REPRESENT Ya'll!!!"

And I'm usually so proud that Florida is the least fattest state in the south...
:banghead:
