Butte Alaska - 5 girls died in kichen fire

3 minute response time

girls huddled in a bedroom

I wonder why they did not go out a window - perhaps they panicked -
wouldnt surprise me - kids really are not taught how to respond to
deadly emergencies - they just get generic stop/drop/roll stuff AFAIK
- or maybe it was so fast - if the older girl was using the stove and
a pan of oil started to burn, she would rush to the bedrooms to get
the other girls - by then the kitchen could be fully involved and they
would have just seconds to get out a window (if they didnt close the
bedroom door - and even the the smoke would be very bad I am sure) -
in fact the other story said they died of smoke not burns - maybe the
bedroom door was closed - why couldnt they resuscitate the 5 girls at
that point?

someone needs to pull the radio tape - probably gonna be me

family does not think that the 12 year old was using the stove

Butte AK second tape - bone chilling - mother screaming

maybe a 7 minute gap between the 2 tapes - not sure why

I suspect that playing the second tape at a public fire prevention
event would not go over well - but it might be the reality that some
people need
