i had to ask her twice, i had to make sure i had the right address, and i realized it was my house. a neighbor catches it all on camera. not only is bose house on fire, but his parents are inside. 911, what s your emergency? there s a fire, big fire at 99 hollis avenue. a fire or a fight? the whole place, the garage and everything is on fire. this is michael bose mother. okay, mrs. bose, we have it. we ll be right there. thank you. the first reaction was to make sure my parents were safe. they were in the house, and i tried calling several times. there was no answer. mike o shea is the neighbor who captures it all on camera. flames were about 100 feet into the air, and, yeah, you could definitely feel the heat and you could see on the houses next to it the paint was just melting and chipping away. within minutes, bose arrives on the scene. fortunately, his parents escape the burning home as they make their 911 call. the first thing i know is my parents were on
the people of quincy dial 911, they want someone who s on the other end who won t go crazy or lose it when you call. you have to stay calm and help the city out. friday, september 25th, 2009, bose s shift starts like any other. it was a very busy night. about 10:30, 10:45 it actually started to slow down. we figured we had another hour left on the shift, then we ll be gone and the night will be over. but for bose his night is just starting when this 911 call is received. the call is from his neighbor. 911, what s your emergency? there s a fire next door to my house. 102 hollis avenue. let me get the fire department. stay on the phone. okay. the 1911 calls all at once, there were about nine calls coming in. we figured because of the time of night, it was going to be a car accident. so the first call we picked up that i received was my next-door neighbor saying the neighbor s garage and house was on fire. there was an explosion. when i asked her the address, she told me
motion when you re walking because you don t believe that something is going on. and when you look in the back, i could see down the driveway, there was no garage. that was gone. there was heavy fire in the back so i knew the kitchen, the bedroom area was going to be gone. the roof was gone, the second floor was gone. as soon as they got it under control, they started smashing out the windows and laying into the upstairs area of the house with hoses. bose realizes that everything he and his parents own is destroyed. the new tv i bought, gone. computers, gone. everything you knew that was inside the house was gone. there s nothing left. just the shirt we re wearing on our back and that was all we had. fortunately bose s cousin is a quincy firefighter who arrives first on the scene. he ran into the house. and there were several pictures of grandkids, wedding pictures of my parents, he was able to save all the pictures that were in there. it meant a lot. when something like this
they re helping out. they re doing what they can, even their families, wives, their girlfriends, even the kids get involved, which has been unbelievable. for o shea who witnesses the fire, the scene has a dramatic impact. it s sad. it s very sad. i went out a couple of days later and bought more smoke detectors. despite the devastating fire, bose has an optimistic attitude. thank you, sergeant. my main thing is my parents and my neighbor got out and no injuries. nobody was hurt, no lives were lost. the fire department, nobody was injured. it s a house that can be rebuilt. everything can be replaced. it s going to take awhile, but we can get back. within two weeks bose is back on the job working the 911 phone lines. one of the first calls we took last night was for a house fire. at first it was like, just normal routine. transferred to the fire department and sent a cruiser down there and you have to be there when they call 911. that s what we do. from one dedicated city
each one looks the same. actually i think yours might be better than mine. god this is even cooler than i thought. oh, look at that. it s a marriage of robotic technologies. bang. nailed it. so this little boy alex needs a robotic arm and a man named all party student at central state i think in florida came up with this which i think is wonderful and thank you robert downey jr. for doing this for this little boy. all right. anyone who knows me knows i love dogs and cats. this is an amazing individual crow. bose a dog and jasper a cat have spent ten days apart. like what happened when they were reunited. don t get too excited. amazing. people would say animals don t have feelings. first gay marriage and now
