If your house caught fire and you could save just one thing, what would it be? This age-old question has been used to seemingly understand what a person thinks is most dear to them and people usually have interesting answers such as pictures of their loved ones, or some trinkets or maybe their books.
Unfortunately for one man in Kansas, US, this question came to life when his house caught fire last week. And the unnamed man chose to save his – wait for it – Xbox from the inferno. What’s more interesting is that he actually ran back into this flaming home to grab the beloved gaming console.
Sources reported that the fire that destroyed the game-crazy man’s house started in an electrical junction box, according to the fire officials who reached the scene. The fire started when the man was fast asleep on early Friday morning. When he woke up and realised that his house was on fire, the man ran out of his house empty handed, which of course, would be the natural reaction of anyone who wakes up in a raging inferno surrounding them.
He let good sense prevail, but only for just a while before he realised that pretty much everything that he owned was back in there being charred. Worst of all, his Xbox console was in the house too. So, he ran back in and rescued it. Hopefully, he kept the console’s cables tangle-free and managed to extract it safely. Now folks, we suggest you don’t try this at home, because in the bargain, he suffered from smoke inhalation, which might have a bigger
The blaze ended up causing $80,000 worth of damage to the building, but at least a few hundred dollars (it’s not clear which model it was) were saved by the Xbox incident. We really hope he managed to pick up a few games as well on the way out. Understandably, a lot of people, including the folks over at The Inquirer are campaigning for the man to be a candidate for the post of Microsoft’s CEO.
