If the main structure would have become involved, I would imagine that the chimeny type construction of the exterior walls would have caused a full conflageration and made it impossible to fight. You guys did good saving it at all. Good work.

Thanks Cap, That small room above the kitchen was being used as a walk in closet. Luckily the door was closed slowing the migration of the fire into other rooms of the main structure. The top half of the door burned off, allowing all of that super heated smoke to fill the main part of the structure. I went upstairs to determine if fire had entered the attic , with luck it had not. I don't know the temperature in that second story, several hundred degrees I imagine. A couple of the firemen had to be rehydrated, even though we were rotating resources.
