She then transferred Kyle to someone else, to whom he told the same information to, they told him to call the local fire department because they couldn't help him since he was on a cell phone. They then transferred him again, finally reaching the actual fire department who showed up within 2 minutes of Kyle telling them that there was a problem. WOW!!! I would hate to actually live here and have an actual emergency that required fast response. Luckily in this case it was a faulty dryer that had just started smoking. The other thing was people were walking back into a building they were unsure was safe. The fire department hadn't shown up yet and they were going back in...also some people followed the fire department in when they got here. Have people forgotten elementary school fire drills?? Unbelievable!!! After the fire department came out and said it was safe, we went back to our room. Poor Amelia is so tired and luckily went back to sleep quickly. Kyle did a reenactment of my response to the fire alarm going off. I apparently almost killed Rob because I came up swinging. It was pretty funny! So this was my great Day 4!! These photos were taken by my brother-in-law's cell phone. So not the greatest, but still capture a bit! Thanks Chris for taking the photos!

Day 4 in 30 Days to 30
July 6, 2008 - Today my sister Aaron had her baby Lilianna blessed at church by Kyle. Lilly looked beautiful and we had a great lunch after church. We went back to our hotel and had a great time hanging out with each other and my mom. Kelly & Jason flew back to Salt Lake this evening, while Peter had flown back to Texas early this morning. We turned on a movie to watch and of course I got really tired...so I went to bed to fall asleep around 10:30pm tonight. At 11:10pm the fire alarm to our hotel went off and I woke up swinging. We went downstairs and Kyle called 911. This is the most unbelievable part of the whole story...and I really hope that people that live here in Littleton, CO have better success with their 911 operators than we did. Kyle called 911 and told them that we were at the Extended Stay and gave the address, then told them that the fire alarm had gone off and that there was smoke on the 1st floor, that operator then said she would have to get her manager.
She then transferred Kyle to someone else, to whom he told the same information to, they told him to call the local fire department because they couldn't help him since he was on a cell phone. They then transferred him again, finally reaching the actual fire department who showed up within 2 minutes of Kyle telling them that there was a problem. WOW!!!
