Can a Pool Pump Save Your Home From Wildfire?

from Tim Conway Jr. on Demand Hosted by iHeartRadio and KFI AM 640

Hour 1 (10.22) A fire official told Mark McNabb he might have died if he’d stayed to fight the Norte Fire with his new pool pump. He and his wife had 20 minutes to grab what mattered and go. 6:05 Two men and a woman were pulled from the rain-swollen Pacoima Wash in North Hills Thursday morning as one of the season’s first big storms-soaked Southern California. LAFD crews used a helicopter hoist and a ladder truck to reach them. 6:20 How do you keep going when life gets hard? Susan Fries of Ecola Termite & Pest Control shares the mindset that gets her through. Plus: When did your kid get their first phone? 6:35 The Norte Fire tore through San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano last Friday. Mark McNabb had just remodeled, adding a fire-resistant roof and a pool pump to fight flames. OCFA’s Steve Concialdi told him that staying with that pump may have cost him his life. 6:50 Losing a home to a fire, flood or tornado turns every day into a struggle. McNabb, owner of Surf City Printing, talks about getting back on your feet after disaster. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI! 🎙️
