Another Fire!!
« on: 20 Jan 2006, 02:13 pm »
As I go out to start my truck this morning, I hear the fire sirens going off again at the station a few blocks away. Think nothing of it this time as they often run test. A few minutes later, I hop in my truck and start on my way to the shop which is only three blocks away. I am now hearing sirens from police cars, parametics, and of course fire trucks. I get no further than the corner of my street before I see all the fire trucks parked in front of a house on the next street over from my house.

There is smoke and flames coming from the house but I see the owners out front watching. At this time, the police point me in another direction which THIS time, I obey and move on out of the way after confirming nobody is injured (my wife is a nurse). I slept in a bit this morning so this happpened after thier kids went off to school.

 My children were not in this house so I did not give the officer any lip when he asked me to move on but I did make sure all occupants were safe before going about my business. After all, this is my neighborhood and my heart goes out to anybody who finds themselves in this situation.

 Again, nobody was injured and that is all that matters. Boy do I hate fire. By the way, I have installed a few more smoke detectors in my home after the weekend's event innvolving my son.
