Cozy fire.

So last week the heater at our house stopped working. So we decided to use our wood burning stove for the first time. So i went and bought the wood and came home to my cold house with my sick children and started the fire. I was so nice and warm. As we lay on the love sac all snuggled up and cozy after getting to enjoy our fire for about an hour, i decided to throw another log on the fire. So i did. After i put the log on the fire got really big and started burning like crazy inside the stove, i got a little freaked out but thought all was well. As i got cozy with my kids and started watching out movie. The smoke alarms started to beep. Well all the alarms are on one system so when one goes off they all go off. So as 15 smoke alarms are beeping my kids start saying they are scared and i start to notice the room is getting a little bit smokey i called 911. I didn't want to take any chances of a chimney fire or a fire in the wall, so i thought better to be safe then sorry. So my and the boys were told to wait outside in the snow for the fire department. About 20 minutes later the fire chief pulls up in his car and goes inside to check it out. He came out and said that it looked ok but they fire truck would be here shortly and they would double check. So sure enough 2 HUGE fire trucks pull up in front of our house the fire men got all geared up and hearded into the house. Well all was well the fire was almost burnt out by the time they got here. They said it was just because it was the first time that we used it and the oil base inside the stove had to burn off. It was a very eventful day. The boys loved that the firemen had to come to our house because they got to climb up in the trucks and sit inside they thought that was the coolest thing ever.
