My wife, our toddler Jack and I was having our heydays. Everyday Jack used to learn and explore something new and amuse us. People rightly say that "Calamity is test of integrity" and my test was lying ahead. My wife was having late shifts in her office during early days of last September. So I had to be there with our kid and look after home. It is never easy to keep a kid satisfied so was the case with Jack. It was one of those tiring days when I was preparing the dinner for Jack when he cried out loud. I had to rush back towards living room where I left him with his stuffed bunny. I was completely shocked to see a swelling due to bump on his forehead. Probably he tried to stand up but fell down but it was no time to think about reasons. I got an ice pack to comfort his injury and it took quite a while to pacify my kid. During that time I completely forgot that I left the stove on in my kitchen. I was still preoccupied with what happened to Jack. Thereby I did not realize the intense smell of gas rising from kitchen.
By the time I came back to my senses it was late. Our light curtains hung at the window of our kitchen caught fire. From there it started burning the window. I remember clearly that first thing that I did was to take Jack and run towards the main door. I used the cell phone of my neighbor to have fire extinguishing helpers. It took almost 2 hours to get complete hold on fire. When my wife saw this situation after coming home she just thanked God that our kid and I was safe. It took us time to leave the bitter memories of that day behind.
The window was completely burnt but professional window installation in Yonkers NY replaced it with a new one. The new windows were indeed helpful in forgetting that unpleasant incident. I was really terrified and concerned about the security of my family. It was the time when I decided to get best fire rated door services to have a safe and sound residence for my family. What is the purpose of a home if it cannot protect you and your family?My wife and I sat together after that incident and decided to have all the security checks inside our resident. We also got security gates for doors and windows because we were aware of the fact that we have a child who is growing day by day. Once he starts walking there will be no corner in home where he would not go. It was one of best decisions to have security gates because they saved Jack a number of times from falling and escaping home.
