Up in Flames

Many of you know that Brock is the BBQ king. I have encouraged this talent because it means that I don't cook- in fact I bought him a BBQ for his first Father's Day realizing the benefits it would bring me. He's a master at it all- chicken, steak, shishkabobs, hamburgers... whatever I request he grills it up.
Tonight it was turkey burgers. He had finished up the meat and was toasting the buns when he comes in and calmly informs me that the grill is on fire. I calmly think he meant the buns were on fire and go outside to see the ENTIRE BBQ is on FIRE. I run and grab the hose, but then hesitate because I don't want to blow up when the propane tank explodes. So I start spraying from a distance and Brock grabs it from me and very fireman like soaks the grill- buns and all.
I was screaming some gibberish about explosion and propane and he turned around calmly and said I already turned the tank off.
Once the fire was out and the smoke cleared, he explained what had happened. When he took the buns out, he noticed some flames, but thought it was just burning fat from the burgers. It started getting bigger faster so he reached down and turned off the propane tank. He came inside to get some water to put it out and within seconds that puppy was UP IN FLAMES so the hose was the best option.
I looked at my singed and blackened husband and couldn't believe that he had the presence of mind to turn off the propane tank. I know I would have PANICKED. Even if I thought of it I would have been too freaked to do it and would have just evacuated... screaming for everyone to clear the area. He is so calm and level headed in these kind of situations... it blows my mind.
We are all OK- well except for the grill. It has seen it's last day on the job. Brock hands were all black and after running them under cold water he has 4 or 5 blisters and one really nasty one. He keeps playing the tough guy card and telling me his hands don't hurt, but I catch him looking at them and grimacing. When he reached down to turn off the tank burning drops of oil dripped on his hand. It's not pretty, but don't worry about him- he is getting the hero's treatment here.

"Hey babe, do you think while you're running cold water on your hands you could load the dishwasher?" :)

Brock- Thank you for saving the patio, the kitchen wall and our lives. I must say you are one HOT fireman. We will be replacing this BBQ with a nice, new, expensive, top of the line grill- you know the kind that doesn't catch on fire.
