Anne Heche inside her scorched Mini Cooper until 24 minutes after they arrived at the scene, and it took at least another 20 minutes before firefighters could extract her from the vehicle.The harrowing details have come to light after NBC4 Los Angeles obtained the Los Angeles Fire Department's records and time-stamped recordings of radio communications, which also showed there was initial confusion as to whether there was more than one patient after Heche plowed her car into the 738-square-foot, two-story home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.According to the news station, «heavy fire and smoke conditions» made it impossible to determine whether someone was trapped inside the vehicle. What's more, fire officials say determining whether someone was trapped in the vehicle made it more difficult by the fact that Heche was not even in the driver's seat.The recordings show that firefighters arrived at the scene at 11:01 a.m., and dispatchers had informed firefighters, within seconds upon arrival, that a person was trapped in the car. Once inside the home, firefighters treated a woman in the home, who turned out to be the tenant, and not Heche.
Dad smashed Cameron House window to help newlywed wife and son escape hotel fire
16.08.2022 - 20:17 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A dad has told of the moment he launched a chair to break through a window so he could save his newlywed wife and their young son from a burning hotel.
Andy Logan, his wife Louise and son Jimmy were trapped in Room 10 at the Cameron House Hotel, on the banks of Loch Lomond near Balloch, during a blaze on December 18, 2017.
The Englishman, who works in the hotel trade, went to the five-star hotel just 48 hours after he and his wife married in Worcester.
On Tuesday, he told a Fatal Accident Inquiry into the deaths of Simon Midgley and his partner Richard Dyson how he heard the pre-alarm sound and went to open his door, and at first could detect the same smell that he experienced when he got to the hotel hours before.
"I thought then it was smoke coming out of the fires and had come up and triggered the alarm," said the 46-year-old.
But when he opened the door, and saw "the wall of smoke", he realised the gravity of the situation and decided to stay put. He turned to his wife, the inquiry heard, and said "we are not getting out".

"That point in time I was shocked, concerned, but very much I felt still in control. By not going out, I'm now moving to my work head, logical steps, we can't get out, we can do things now to protect ourselves while the fire brigade come," he said.
He started to use sheets and pillows to try stop the smoke coming into their hotel room, while Mrs Logan called for help.
The court were played the recording of the 999 call his paramedic wife made to tell them they "can't get out".
"The room is filling up with smoke," she told them, and the call handler told them to stay near the window and the floor.

‘House of the Dragon’ Recap: Age Is Just a Number in King’s Landing
Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched the second episode of “House of the Dragon,” titled “The Rogue Prince,” now streaming on HBO Max. In the dating world of Westeros, age is just a number. After losing his wife Queen Aemma last episode —which took place six months ago in the “House of the Dragon” timeline” — King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) felt the pressure to find a new wife and start making royal heirs. Any Westeros king would do the same thing, but the disturbing part is that Viserys’ cousin Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) was playing matchmaker with her own daughter, the way-underage Lady Laena Velaryon (Nova Foueillis-Mose). Incest isn’t new to the world of “Game of Thrones” or the Targaryens, but the age difference between Viserys and Laena was almost as stomach-churning as last week’s medieval C-section performed on the queen.

‘House of the Dragon’ star Emily Carey deletes Twitter over fan criticism
hit HBO series “House of the Dragon,” deleted her Twitter account after she was inundated with criticism about “humanizing” her villainous character.The controversy erupted last month when Carey appeared at Comic-Con in San Diego alongside fellow “House of the Dragon” cast members to promote the “Game of Thrones” prequel.Carey plays the younger version of Alicent Hightower, who is locked in a battle for succession with her childhood friend-turned-rival Rhaenyra Targaryen. The younger version of Targaryen is played in the spin-off by Milly Alcock.As in “Game of Thrones,” when viewers sided with either the Starks or the Lannisters, the premiere of “House of the Dragon” ignited a similar dynamic in which fans lined up behind either House Targaryen or House Hightower.At Comic-Con, Carey made a seemingly innocuous comment about having the “freedom” to portray the young Alicent.“There were some gaps that we had to fill, so to figure it all out I sort of started journaling, and … managed to come up with some form of backstory, and it proved to be very useful,” Carey said.“I’ve never had the freedom to create a whole human being like this before.
