FALSE ALARM....

So, I just thought I would post this because now we are all laughing about what happened at our house tonight. I had just got done makeing dinner, chicken noodle soup, and we all sat down to eat and watch TV. All of a sudden all of the smoke alarms in our house went off. We all looked at eachother and I looked over at the stove to see if anything was burning. Nothing. We walked down the hall and could smell smoke, so I ran to my phone and called 911. The thought that ran through my head was what do I grab? Everything we have is in this house! I ran outside with Kennley to check for flames on the roof or comeing from the attic while I was on the phone to dispatch. At that time Brent and my brother were checking the entire house for smoke. A few minutes later here come the ENTIRE Syracuse city fire and police departement......no lie, there were 4 fire trucks. We were then told to get out of the house! I seriously was paniced! All the firemen were all geared up and drug the firehose in the house to check for flames. At that time a neighbor came and took me and Kennley over to his house to get out of the cold. I swear I was there forever! They had turned off the power and the gas to the house and checked every square inch of it and found NOTHING! Well, they did find a small gas leak in the basement near the water heater but no smoke and no flames. I was so releived to hear they found nothing, but on the other hand it still makes me nervous. Why did the smoke alarms go off and why did we smell smoke down the hall near the attic? The fire departement said it could have been an outlet that blew and sent smoke up the wall, or it could have been an electrical wire that blew a fuse and the smoke from that set the alarms off. So, at the time it was very scary and very intense, and I am so thankful that nothing serious happened!
