I, my hair and clothes, and my house all smell like smoke. I would probably smell less like smoke if I hadn't gone out into the street to watch a nearby house burn. Local drama today! I didn't really see the house itself, it's around the corner and tucked in behind a house in our street. But there was an awful lot of smoke covering the neighbourhood...

I don't know a lot about what happened, but since half the population of the suburb was out on the street, we exchanged theories. I did hear somebody say the residents of the house were not at home and nobody was injured. An ambulance was there, but with no lights or noise and no fuss and bother. Probably just a precaution.

So that was today's excitement for the area. I have heard it said, and honestly, that if you ever need assistance you should yell "FIRE!!!". You can yell for help until you're blue in the face, but everybody turns out for a good fire.
