I wish I'd noticed the box fan pointed at the bed was on sooner though! Fire is fed by oxygen; and I grill outdoors and awful lot and close the lid to put out the coals, so that's why I thought to do that. It almost wasn't a conscious thought, but the fire inspector says that's the first thing she teaches people in fire prevention/control.
Throwing baking soda on a fire only works with a grease fire, however. Not with a mattress and synthetic fibers fire. Now I know.
