i take care of an 80yr old man 275 lbs how do i get him out of the window if a fire breaks out in the bedroom?

Reduce the hazards in the bedroom and decrease the chances of this happening. Drag him out on the bedding. Why do you have to use the window?

LOOK IN THE PHONE BOOK THERE SHOULD BE SOME CENTERS THAT CAN TELL YOU WHERE TO CALL AND GET HELP... HE NEEDS TO LEAVE

Since you call it an apartment he has become a tenant and you will have to follow legal eviction procedures to get him out.  Any of the self-help solutions others have suggested will just get you and your homeowners policy sued.  (Think what the rates will be if they have you listed as single family home and in fact you have an apartment and a tenant!)  Also I don't know your building codes but I will bet your apartment is illegal and not built with permits, because you said you have one hvac unit for both residences.  You opened a can of worms when you rented this out.  (For whatever the rent was supposed to be) and he will have access to legal aid in Los Angeles for sure.  Good luck be more careful in future to follow the law.

Get into his house when he is not there and rearrange all the furniture.  Make sure you interchange from room to room too, like the couch in the kitchen, TV in the bathroom, beds in the closet.  Just don't break anything and its harmless and fun!

what type? first evacuate and call the fire department. If there is a fire extinguisher directly in front of you, use it. If its in the other room, just get out. By the time you get back with it, the fire will be twice the size and even more dangerous.\n\nBut always evacuate first, and shut all doors behind you. (This slows the fire from entering into other rooms.) If this is an outdoor fire...ie brush..garbage..stay back or if it is smaller than a trash can...try to cover it with dirt or use water to put it out.

The best thing to do is try to  find the nearest elderly person let one go then walk away in disgust leaving the blame to fall onto the poor old dear.  If you have to hold it in try to get to the nearest private place as soon as possible or you may internally combust!

Been there and done that...not fun!  I feel for you but you have to be strong enough to GET OUT!  I had family and friends to help me out behind his back.  I planned carefully because he was smart and inquisitive, very controlling.  Get mad and smart too!  Figure out his work schedule and get it all done in a short amount of time.  Get a restraining order against him before you go so that you are somewhat protected when you leave.  Go somewhere safe where someone is with you all the time and has speed dial.  Get a plan B so that if this is not an option you have somewhere else to go.  Don't make him mad.  Above all don't let him see you are nervous.  Keep him calm and level headed until you pull it off.  Don't change your routine or compromise yourself.  Be sure to delete all "help" calls off the phone and alert the police of what you are about to do and the day and time.  You can also have the police escort you out once they know the situation if you need to do it that way.  My prayers go out with you!

well, could he just have 'smaller' wash during the first few days until he's strong enough to get out of the bath himself..? If not, then tell him what the situation is, does he prefer to have you or one of his friends to help him.  Or the option is to stay in the bath until the fire crew come and help him :) I personallly would listen to him, what his suggestion is.

In the interest of you not going to jail (don't shoot him)...maybe you can make the area unappealing to him so he has to either (1) find a more aggressive way to get into your space thereby garnering police intervention or (2) make him go away completely.\n\nAssuming you are not in a position to move...I'm not sure what is workable, but some ideas that came to mind are:\n\n* Barbed wire fencing around the area.\n* A large dog that bites (preferably with rabies j/k)\n* Sprinkle itching powder or plant some poison ivy under there.\n* Ask a male relative to come visit you or stay over every now and again.\n\nAs a person who was once stalked, I understand your dilemma. To everyone else we just seem paranoid and irrational. I don't believe people understand how these situation pervades every moment of our lives in trying to stay safe and on the right side of the law simultaneously.\n\nAbove all, please stay safe.

Call the city council, they can direct you to city ordinances etc. He's supposed to be like 10 ft. or so from the hydrant too so the fire dept. can get to it.

There are a lot of answers that say call the cops, and by all means do so!!! Sometimes though they won't do a damn thing about it, he will probably become enraged and the abuse will get worse. If this is the case pack what you need and move out when he's gone somewhere. I know of a neighbor of mine that did just that. She moved form here to somewhere back east while her abusive hubby was at work. \nGood Luck!!!!

First, Lay on the bed buck naked with your legs spread wide. Get a bottle of honey or syrup {my  favorite is caramel topping} and just pour a couple cold drops right between your legs. You won't have to sak or say a word. He should dive right in!

Since the Red Cross isn't helping, I would try local college, or even local hospital, not sure if the fire department can help you or not.

Tell him to keep his head up and always know what is going on around him. If he keeps his head down he will miss something and maybe get hurt. I will tell you what my mother told me before I deployed at the age of 31 to OIF I. She said "I want you to be safe but I also want you to be brutal."
