There was a pizza box left in my oven and I later turned on the oven to have the box burn. I never actually opened the oven and saw a fire but my apartment was filled with smoke. Is the food in my pantry and fridge safe to eat, or is it contaminated

Asked by Gray over 7 years ago

If any food is open such as bread, cookies and such I would get rid of but all sealed items no are just fine.

My sister has a burn pit at the bottom of a hill. She also lets the embers smolder overnight. I think both are dangerous. She tells me to mind my own business. We both own the land. I worry. Am I overacting?

Asked by Ty over 7 years ago

Not the brightest of ideas. Wind can stir up the ashes and launch them up the hill. Many states it is illegal to have unattended fires especially diring fire season.

Hey there!
I know that the firemans carry is not really used anymore due to the person having more smoke exposure. However, in an emergency, is it safe to carry a pregnant woman using the fireman's carry? is it possible?
