Fire Dept: Woman Brought Barbecue Indoors

Fire department called when smoke began to fill Huntington Station apartment.

Huntington Manor Fire Department responded after a Huntington Station woman brought a small charcoal barbecue inside her apartment Tuesday night.

The woman, a resident of Eagle Rock Apartments on Lenox Road and East 5th Street, was cooking outdoors with the barbecue and then decided to bring it inside her apartment, said a source. Smoke began to fill the apartment although nothing caught fire.

The fire department registered a very high carbon monoxide level upon arrival and aired out the apartment. No one was injured.

Not to surprising. In the early 80's had a Boy Scout den leader bring a bbq into the school gym once when it started raining during a picnic.

When you choose to make an irresponsible decision like the one listed above, you must remember that you make all volunteer firemen rush to the firehouse and respond to that call.

He may answer you with soft meows. Make a trail of stinky cat food to your door and leave the can at the door overnight. Hang up signs with a photo in the neighborhood. Go door to door and tell neighbors to call you if they see him. Kids playing, and dog walkers might spot him. Once you have an idea, of where he is, you can use a have a heart trap to catch him, if he won't come to you. Some cats get so scared when they get out, that they don't recognize their humans. We have had cats disappear for months, before trapping them.
