Scarcely after the dust had settled from the dust storm 2 days ago, another event today. A huge fire broke out in one of my neighbours' house. Thick black fumes crept all across the neighbourhood and I yelled to Samuel to please close all the windows. I had done enuff dust busting 2 days earlier and didn't need another round!! We looked out and saw the house going up in smoke.
Soon, fire engines, police patrol and ambulances came screeching to our street including tv station crew and news reporters. Curious, concerned neighbours from the area all started flocking round to see the scene. The lady in the house had burnt her hands...and thick smoke was choking us. I went out to fetch Jordan home because he was playing at a neighbour's house but smoke was so thick, we had to crouch down and hold a towel over our mouths until the smoke blew off. For the kids, it was their very first close encounter with a fire and the rescue squad, so must have been ultra-drama and excitement for them...they forgot they were inhaling smoke!!
Some people were guessing her notebook got overcharged and exploded. Poor thing! My neighbour Ann first saw signs of smoke and quickly alerted the fire engine to come. So, she was the heroine of the day! This is her taking snapshots of her own home as part of her lawn was being taped off by police as no entry area...don't get dramas like this everyday so she figures this will be nice for her scrapbooking, haha!
Enough excitement for this week, hopefully no more events....
