Yesterday afternoon.
The sun was shining and it was a hot June day, the sky was a brilliant blue, then suddenly.... a column of black smoke billowing upwards. The sound of sirens in the distance. A fire truck zooms by at top speed. Then another one. Then the wail of police cars. This isn't good news.

The local pool construction company showed up with a tanker truck full of water. There were five fire trucks there at the height of the blaze, and a couple were still there into the evening, with the police and the Fire Chief, just making sure there were no flareups. Those firemen are heroes, no contest!
