1.10.10 - fire

today had to have two pictures so you could better tell what was going on. the workshop of one of my parents' neighbors caught on fire this afternoon. (it is connected by a breezeway to the house behind the trees in the right of the picture...not the one with the fence on the left) other neighbors say they heard a big explosion. the couple that lives there makes wooden porch swings and the light colored mound you can see in this picture just above is the sawdust pile, we assume. mom and i walked out and heard sirens and mom mentioned that they sounded close by. i figured they were on the main road right down the street...until i turned around and saw the huge billow of smoke and realized they were headed towards us! the smell of the burning building brought back memories of when the main building at my college burned down my freshman year. that smell stayed on campus for MONTHS afterwards.

anyways, long post for tonight. :) praying that no one was hurt in this fire. hopefully i'll hear more about it soon.
