This time, however, the clients were NOT home. When I arrived (beating the fire department by several minutes), I entered the home with the client provided key, searched the site, and took care of the smoke by opening all doors and windows and taking the pot off of the stove. It was very lucky that the client did have their smoke detectors monitored and that they provided us with a key. If they had not, they would have had a lot of smoke damage, and at least a broken front door, as the fire department would not have waited for a key to get inside the home.
