Last week, Bobbi had a post about a Good Samaritan, who, upon seeing a house on fire, stopped to make sure everyone was awake and safe, instead of just engaging his Somebody Else's Problem Field and driving along.
Out of Bremerton, there is a similar story, where a guy out walking his dog thought he smelled gas, and instead of just ignoring it, put in the effort to call the local gas company. Upon investigation with the gas company and local police, they found a home where a 73-year old lady had accidentally left all 4 burners cranked up on her stove after cleaning it.
Good on him. Another article said that they had to evacuate several surrounding homes also, because if the gas had gone off, it would have taken out several other houses.
The only real sad part of this story is you can rest assured, even as we are reading this, a group of kids and grand kids are doubtlessly discussing which home it's time to put grandma in.
