Gene Mendicki is thankful that his security system in his home in Norman Oklahoma this week when he bid his wife goodbye as she went to work and he decided to take a nap.
When Gene went to take his day sleep, his security system altered him that was a fire in his home in about ten minutes.
The fire alarm sensor did alert Gene to leave his home immediately which he did when he saw his house on fire.
The Norman Fire Department investigators said that Gene did the right thing by fleeing the burning house since in about five minutes, he would have been trapped inside his home and possibly buy the farm.
My belief is that the Mendicki house has a security system inside his home that is connected to phone operators who alert the person inside the home if there is an emergency to be taken care of.

That is correct because if Gene had not taken steps to leave his home that was burning, he would have deceased.
