Trailer Fire

We had a fire last year when in Florida during the winter stay. The wiring on the water heater caught fire around 2:00 am. I woke to about a foot of dense smoke hanging down from the ceiling. My wife awoke at the same time. I yelled to her to get the dogs and herself out now! The smoke alarm then went off and I went down stair in or 5th wheel and could see the smoke boiling out from the panel under the tv. I new that was where the water heater was and assumed that the problem was there. She got outside with the dogs and I knew where a screwdriver was in the cabinet. Grabbed it and pried out the panel far enough to get my fingers behind it and tore it off. Just as I got it off a water line burned in to and put out the majority of the fire, I extinguished the rest. That was all the excitement I wanted. We were very lucky.
