Cotton, I'm too tired. Here's why: The night before last, we had a storm that woke me up at 4am. Then last night, I was getting ready to go to sleep and the fire siren in town went off. This was around 1, I think. We have a volunteer fire department and since my family has always been involved with it, we have a scanner. I turn on the scanner and I'm hearing that the fire is shooting from the roof and they are asking to expedite the tankers. Then they give the name of the property on fire and it's our landlord's name. They say, "next to the bank." And this property in which we live is next to the bank...though I'm completely aware that the landlord's actual HOUSE is also next to a bank in a town five miles away.
So either...HIS domicile is ablaze, or MINE is. I must confess that once in the past, I accidentally started a minor conflagration on the patio roof area of this apartment, but I totally had the butt can put OUT with the kitchen fire extinguisher before the first of the six volunteer fire departments toned out arrived. And they all know me... . This is another great reason not to smoke, or, at least to make sure you completely submerge your cigarette butt in water before you put it in the butt can...and no smoking on the patio at the end of autumn, when there are leaves blowing....but I digress embarrassingly... Anyway, last night....when I hear the location of the fire, first obviously...I sniff and don't smell smoke, but this place is big...so I decide that I need to run through the apartment and up the stairs into the back part to MAKE CERTAIN that we're not on fire. And I have on a pair of flannel pyjama bottoms that are too big and they fall down while I'm running across the kitchen. I pretty much pulled them back up, while still in motion and through the dining room, the back door, up the stairs to the glass door and I see... ....no fire. *exhale* But this still means that my landlord has a big fire and I watch all the trucks going (including my awesome cousin in his pickup) and I'm worrying that this family's house is going up in smoke. Every local volunteer fire department's motto is, "we've never lost a foundation." Finally, I get a clarification over the scanner that it is the landlord's barn-like structure and the house is ok. I guess it got a bit hairy, though, because it was windy and the flames did lick at the house and melt some siding, but the intrepid volunteer firefighters managed to stop it spreading. Yay team. I should have put this on the Life is funny thread. My point is. I'm going to bed. Someone else ask a question, please. "When in doubt, tell the truth."
